Key result
Isolated apical LV aneurysm with prominent trabeculations highlights challenges in determining non-ischemic etiology.
Why the study?
Apart from coronary artery disease, determining the etiology of left ventricular aneurysms can be clinically challenging.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the diagnostic challenge of determining the etiology of isolated apical left ventricular aneurysms in young patients without coronary artery disease.
Isolated apical LV aneurysm with trabeculations challenges non-ischemic diagnosis in young adults; leaves open etiology and optimal imaging strategies.
Left ventricular aneurysms are outpouchings delineated by a thin myocardial wall, more frequently encountered at the apex of the left ventricle, which is seldom dyskinetic or akinetic. Apart from coronary artery disease, the etiology can be challenging. We report the case of a 30-year-old man with an isolated apical left ventricular aneurysm associated with prominent trabeculations on echocardiography.
