Childhood traumatic infarction causing left ventricular aneurysm: diagnosis by two-dimensional echocardiography
Abstract:
After being struck by an automobile, a 9 year old boy developed transient right bundle branch block followed by electrocardiographic changes of inferior wall myocardial infarction and an increase of serum cardiac enzymes. Two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a prominent septal aneurysm. Subsequent cardiac catheterization confirmed septal aneurysm and demonstrated an additional inferior aneurysm. Six weeks after the accident, resection of the inferior aneurysm was performed. At 1 year follow-up study, residual septal aneurysm and cardiomegaly are present, but the boy is asymptomatic.

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
