Key result
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complicated by myocarditis and reversible LV aneurysm can fully resolve from cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
Left ventricular aneurysm formation and recovery in patients with myocarditis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are not well documented.

Documents a rare case of reversible left ventricular aneurysm and cardiogenic shock with complete recovery in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocarditis.
Left ventricular wall motion abnormalities, aneurysm formation, and progression to global hypokinesis have been described in patients with myocarditis and in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We document a case of reversible aneurysm formation, cardiogenic shock, and complete recovery in a patient with myocarditis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Pathophysiologic mechanisms of myocardial injury and recovery are discussed.

Fisher et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocarditis (n=1). A patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and myocarditis experienced reversible left ventricular aneurysm formation and cardiogenic shock with complete recovery.
