A 52-year-old man was admitted to hospital emergency room with cardiogenic shock. The electrocardiogram showed normal tracing. Left ventricular aneurysm rupture at the posterolateral wall and haemopericardium was diagnosed with two-dimensional and colour Doppler echocardiography. The patient was operated on immediately and the defect was repaired. The patient made a good recovery. Four months later coronary angiography and left ventriculography were performed. The coronary vessels were found patent and there was minimal stenosis (lesser than 50%) at the proximal 1/3 portion of left anterior descending (LAD) artery. Left ventriculography showed anterolateral and posterolateral hypokinesis. The patient was symptom free and leading an active life 4 months later.

D004630 Emergencies Situations or conditions requiring immediate intervention to avoid serious adverse results. Emergency
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
