ventricular aneurysm

Ventricular aneurysms usually grow at a very slow pace, but can still pose problems.

In contrast, the most common location for a true left ventricular aneurysm involves the apex of the heart.

Heart failure may occur after rupture of ventricular aneurysm.

Cooley and coworkers reported the first surgical treatment of a left ventricular aneurysm in 1958.

Left ventricular aneurysm can be associated with ST elevation.

Persistent ST elevation is rare except in the presence of a ventricular aneurysm.

Also, blood clots may form on the inside of ventricular aneurysms, and form embolisms.

In certain cases, ventricular aneurysm may cause ventricular failure or arrythmia.

Ventricular aneurysms are one of the many complications that may occur after a heart attack (myocardial infarction).

The weakness may also lead to ventricular aneurysm, a localized dilation or ballooning of the heart chamber.

Ventricular aneurysms can be fatal.

Ventricular aneurysms are usually aftereffects of myocardial infarctions.

Contraindications are severe obstructive cardiomyopathy, hypovolemia, tachycardia, and ventricular aneurysm.

In the initial paper, Bruce reported that the test could detect signs of such conditions as angina pectoris, a previous heart attack, or a ventricular aneurysm.

The procedure can identify heart defects or disease, such as coronary artery disease, valve problems, ventricular aneurysms, or heart enlargement.

As a consequence of his heart attack, Eisenhower developed a left ventricular aneurysm, which was in turn the cause of a mild stroke on November 25, 1957.

Although aneurysms and left ventricular aneurysms may involve any wall segment, aneurysms in the posterolateral wall are frequently due to pseudoaneurysms.

Cancer, Cardiac perforation, Cardiac trauma, Congestive heart failure, Pericarditis rupture of a ventricular aneurysm.

This myocardial scarring also puts the patient at risk for potentially life threatening arrhythmias, and may result in the formation of a ventricular aneurysm that can rupture with catastrophic consequences.

In rare selected patients, either those with a discrete left ventricular aneurysm or those with very frequently recurring VT prohibiting ICD use, map-guided endocardial resection may be the treatment of choice.

After four trips to Philly, Big Charley addressed Dr. Pierce as Hawkeye and invited him to scrub in on the resection of a left ventricular aneurysm, a partial blowout of the main chamber of the heart.

In this way, the public authorities would not pay the surgery, leaving to the interested patient the option to change the terminology to "ventricular aneurysm resection", which in practice is the same procedure, to have the treatment paid by the U.S. Government.

The clinician must therefore be well versed in recognizing the so-called ECG mimics of acute myocardial infarction, which include left ventricular hypertrophy, left bundle branch block, paced rhythm, early repolarization, pericarditis, hyperkalemia, and ventricular aneurysm.

True aneurysms include atherosclerotic, syphilitic, and congenital aneurysms, as well as ventricular aneurysms that follow transmural myocardial infarctions (aneurysms that involve all layers of the attenuated wall of the heart are also considered true aneurysms).

Even though 40 years had passed since its discovery, little was known about the peculiar manifestations of the chronic phase of the disease, such as megaesophagus, megacolon, cardiomegaly, heart ventricular aneurysm, achalasia, etc., and the mechanism of the causation of these several pathologies.
