Key result
Serial CMR tracks the progressive formation of combined pseudo and false-pseudo left ventricular aneurysms post-MI.

Serial cardiac MRI provides important insights into the complex formation process of pseudo and false-pseudo left ventricular aneurysms following myocardial infarction.
Ando et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Left ventricular false-pseudo and pseudo aneurysm (n=1). Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging was evaluated. Serial cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provided crucial information for understanding the formation process of a combined pseudo and false-pseudo left ventricular aneurysm after myocardial infarction.
