Cardiac MRI is a highly sensitive and valuable non-invasive imaging modality for diagnosing left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, particularly when initial tests like TTE and left ventriculography are non-diagnostic.
Bhullar et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Cardiac MRI vs. Transthoracic echocardiogram and left ventriculogram was evaluated on Diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Cardiac MRI successfully diagnosed a large left ventricular pseudoaneurysm that was missed on transthoracic echocardiogram and left ventriculogram.
