Toraxcenter, University Hospital Rotterdam-Dijkzigt, The Netherlands.

Three patients with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm are presented. Doppler color flow imaging helped to establish the diagnosis and was able to show additional blood flow abnormalities. The guided continuous wave Doppler interrogation of the shunting blood flow through the communication between the pseudoaneurysm and the left ventricle allowed the identification of a specific diagnostic flow pattern. Doppler color flow imaging offers advantages in patients with equivocal two-dimensional echocardiographic findings for elucidating confusing clinical findings and demonstrating additional and unsuspected flow abnormalities.

D005260 Female Females
D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms
D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.
