[Left ventricular aneurysm and differential diagnosis with pseudoaneurysm].
Left ventricular aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are two complications of myocardial infarction in which the role of imaging is paramount. The authors describe a case of a true aneurysm of the posterior wall, for which cardiac magnetic resonance was useful, although only intra-operative assessment confirmed the diagnosis.

Unruptured Pseudoaneurysm? To the Editor: The Image in Cardiovascular Medicine by Stehlik and colleagues1 is not completely accurate with regard to the diagnosis of left ventricular aneurysm and the related terminology. The authors said that left heart catheterization demonstrated and transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed the diagnosis of left ventricular aneurysm. However, these findings we...
متن کاملEchophonocardiographic diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
We report the presence of an unusual systolic murmur associated with a traumatic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Echophonocardiographic studies showed the murmur to begin at the first heart sound, but end well before the second heart sound. It seems likely that the murmur is caused by the systolic flow of blood from the left ventricle into the relatively noncompliant pseudoaneurysm. The echoca...
متن کاملLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm
A 72-year-old elderly male smoker with a known history of hypertension presented with a six day history of chest pain. His blood pressure at presentation was 110/70 mmHg and there was no audible murmur. ECG showed Q waves in the inferior leads (Figure 1A) and troponin level was elevated (14 μg/L). Chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly with linear atelectasis in both lung bases. The working diagnosi...
متن کاملLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysms form when cardiac rupture is contained by adherent pericardium or scar tissue. Although LV pseudoaneurysms are not common, the diagnosis is difficult and they are prone to rupture. We evaluated the clinical presentation, diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities, results of therapy and prognosis of 290 patients with LV pseudoaneurysms. Most cases of LV pseu...
