Implication

May aid clinical recognition of cardiac aneurysm; leaves open validation against modern imaging.

Key Points

To describe the antemortem diagnosis of a ventricular cardiac aneurysm associated with ventricular tachycardia and review diagnostic features in the literature.
Evaluated a 67-year-old male presenting with weakness, dyspnea, and chest discomfort at Boston City Hospital (N=1).
Performed physical examinations, serial chest roentgenography, and electrocardiographic assessments alongside a review of published clinical literature.
Demonstrated that combining specific physical signs, chest X-ray findings, and distinct electrocardiographic abnormalities allows for accurate antemortem detection of cardiac aneurysm.
Identified recurrent ventricular tachycardia as a severe arrhythmic complication accompanying post-infarction ventricular wall aneurysm.
