A 60-year-old male hypertensive was suspected to have post myocardial infarction left ventricular aneurysm. His transthoracic echocardiogram performed elsewhere reported an inferior wall left ventricular aneurysm. He was referred for coronary angiography. His coronary angiogram and repeat transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated an accessory chamber arising from mid-inferior wall synchronously contracting with the left ventricle suggesting a diverticulum. In addition, he had anomalous coronary arteries with coronary artery disease. His electrocardiogram did not reveal any features suggestive of a post infarct aneurysm. This case illustrates the importance of a comprehensive clinical and echocardiographic examination with a broad differential thought process.
一名60岁男性高血压患者被怀疑患有心肌梗死后左心室动脉瘤。他在其他地方进行的经胸超声心动图报告显示为下壁左心室动脉瘤。他被转诊进行冠状动脉造影。他的冠状动脉造影和重复经胸超声心动图显示,一个副腔从下壁中部发出,与左心室同步收缩,提示为憩室。此外,他还患有冠状动脉异常合并冠状动脉疾病。他的心电图未显示任何提示梗死后期动脉瘤的特征。该病例说明了全面的临床和超声心动图检查以及广泛的鉴别诊断思维过程的重要性。
