Key result
A 59-year-old male presenting with syncope was incidentally found to have a left ventricular aneurysm and experienced no further syncopal episodes after placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
Why the study?
Left ventricular aneurysms carry increased mortality and complication risks, making prompt diagnosis and treatment critically important.

Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the role of multimodality imaging in the incidental diagnosis of a left ventricular aneurysm in a patient with a history of myocardial infarction presenting with syncope.
Roberts et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Left ventricular aneurysm (n=1). Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placement was evaluated on Resolution of syncopal episodes. A 59-year-old male presenting with syncope was incidentally found to have a left ventricular aneurysm and experienced no further syncopal episodes after placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator.
