    A rare mitral subannular left ventricular aneurysm was found in an Ovambo man. Suspect this condition in Black patients with mitral incompetence and a bulge on chest X-rays.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Subvalvular aneurysms are rare cardiac conditions.
    • Left ventricular aneurysms can arise from various causes.

    Observation:

    • A case of mitral subannular left ventricular aneurysm in an Ovambo man is presented.
    • The patient exhibited mitral incompetence and a localized bulge on chest radiography.

    Findings:

    • Mitral and aortic subannular aneurysms are discussed in the context of the case.
    • ECG-gated cardiac blood pool imaging is highlighted as a diagnostic tool.

    Implications:

    • This condition should be considered in patients of Black African descent with specific clinical and radiological findings.
