Noninvasive diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle. 1979

The echocardiographic, scintigraphic, angiocardiographic and autopsy correlations in a patient with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm are presented. Interruption of the echo of the left ventricular wall and radioisotope image of pseudoaneurysm and its communication channel are demonstrated for the first time. The striking similarity of the radioisotope image to the angiographic image is noted. This study suggests that echocardiography has capability to visualize left ventricular wall defects, such as the perforation seen in this case and radioisotope ventriculography is equivalent to the invasive contrast technique. Both of the methods seem to be safe and specific for the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

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
