Abstract

Left ventricular apical aneurysm (LVAA) is a serious complication of anterior myocardial infarction (MI). In addition to apical dysfunction, there may be more extensive (overall) ventricular dysfunction that can lead to chronic heart failure, as well as malignant ventricular arrhythmias and thromboembolism. This case report features the abnormal echocardiographic findings of a patient with LVAA, including extensive ventricular dysfunction and paradoxical intra-ventricular blood flow.
