Cardiac multislice computed tomography is a useful non-invasive imaging modality for the early detection and diagnosis of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction.

May support cardiac CT for post-MI LV pseudoaneurysm diagnosis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
We describe a case of 57-year-old man who presented with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart failure with rapid progression of cardiomegaly. Cardiac multislice computed tomography and echocardiography showed the ventricular pseudoaneurysm, probably due to cardiac free wall rupture caused by AMI. Cardiac CT is another useful tool for the non-invasive diagnosis of cardiac rupture.

Niimura et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following acute myocardial infarction (n=1). Cardiac multislice computed tomography (MSCT) and surgical repair was evaluated.
