Overview
Differential diagnosis
- True LV aneurysm must be differentiated from false aneurysms.
True LV aneurysm False LV aneurysm Mostly apical (anterolateral) Mostly inferoposterior Wide mouth Narrow mouth Wall composed of LV myocardial remnants and fibrous tissue Wall made by parietal pericardium Almost never ruptures Often ruptures May contain thrombus Almost always contain thrombus
- Left Ventricular Diverticulum is another differential diagnosis of LV aneurysm.
- Left ventricular diverticulum is defined as an outpouching structure that contains endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium and displays normal contraction and considered to be congenital.
