Abstract:
Myocardial infarctions may cause ventricular aneurysms. Ischemia-induced ventricular changes are more common in the left ventricle owing to the larger vascular supply, greater volume of myocardium, and increased intra-ventricular pressure. Ischemia-induced right ventricular free wall abnormalities are rare owing to the lower ventricular pressure. The authors describe the echocardiographic progression of a right ventricular ischemic aneurysm resulting from an ST-elevated myocardial infarction in a 71- year-old man. In this E-Challenge, the authors will review the echocardiographic findings and pathophysiology of ischemic aneurysms.
