Case report detailing the clinical presentation of a 47-year-old man with renal infarcts and a left ventricular aneurysm with thrombus.
May inform diagnostic evaluation of concurrent renal infarcts and LV thrombus; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
A 47-year-old man was admitted to this hospital because of abdominal pain of 5 weeks' duration, which radiated to the flank. He had had intermittent abdominal pain and constipation for 15 years. He was born in Central America and lived in rural and urban areas until immigrating to the United States more than 25 years before admission. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed renal abnormalities consistent with infarcts. Echocardiography revealed a left ventricular aneurysm with thrombus. A diagnostic test was performed.
