Ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular aneurysm can be indicative of a previous myocardial infarction (MI). Although VSDs and aneurysms are common from MIs the possibility remains of their formation from mechanical complications in the heart. This case reports an unusual finding of a VSD and a left ventricle aneurysm without subjective findings of a previous MI or a past history of any ischemic event.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
