Calcified Left Ventricular Aneurysm Presenting As Recurrent Ventricular Tachycardia
Journal Title: BMH Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Left ventricular aneurysm is generally a complication of myocardial infarction. The aneurysm occurs in the wall of the heart at the spot where the myocardial infarction occurs and a scar usually forms in the area of the dead muscle tissue, and may eventually calcify. Aneurysms are associated with serious complications as congestive heart failure, thrombo embolic episodes and serious ventricular arrhythmias. We present a case of calcified ventricular aneurysm presenting as recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
