Overview
The clue to the diagnosis of LV aneurysm after an MI is a persistent ST elevation without chest pain, and there is no recommendation for screening patients for LV aneurysm.
Screening
According to 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction, screening for LV aneurysm is not recommended.[1]
