Abstract

Left ventricular aneurysm is a dangerous mechanical complication of transmural myocardial infarction caused by left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion. Cardiac imaging, dominated by MRI plays a key role in characterization of this entity. Medications or surgery lower the risk of a ruptured ventricular aneurysm.  We report the case of a left ventricular apical aneurysm post myocardial infarction in a 65-year-old patient after an anterior myocardial infraction.
