ABSTRACT

The formation of a left ventricular aneurysm secondary to myocardial infarction is a potentially fatal complication. Early diagnosis is critical to patient survival. A case of a 74 year-old male with a history of ischemic heart disease secondary to myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation who developed a giant left ventricular apical aneurysm is presented.
