Standard criteria may misclassify true inferior LV aneurysms as false; this challenges their reliability and leaves diagnostic accuracy open for validation.
Are standard echocardiographic and angiographic criteria accurate for diagnosing false left ventricular inferior aneurysms?
Standard echocardiographic and angiographic criteria may inaccurately classify true inferior left ventricular aneurysms as false aneurysms, suggesting these classic criteria may need to be abandoned.
Lascault et al. (1988) studied this question.
