A Case of a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) Leading to a Left Ventricular Aneurysm

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 V...

description 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.
