'''Left ventricular aneurysm ''' (LVA) is a common sequela to myocardial infarction, occurring in 10% to 30% of patients surviving an acute myocardial
infarction.
 
Both true aneurysms and false ventricular aneurysms are the sequelae of [[myocardial infarction]]. However, their etiology, pathologic findings, diagnostic findings, and treatment are different.
 
*True ventricular aneurysm is a chronic complication of myocardial infarction.
*A true aneurysmal sac contains the endocardium, epicardium, and thinned fibrous tissue (scar) that is a remnant of the left ventricular muscle, whereas a false aneurysmal sac represents a pericardium that contains a ruptured left ventricle.
*A true aneurysm, particularly if small, may cause no symptoms and is compatible with prolonged survival.
*Unlike a true aneurysm, which contains some myocardial elements in its wall, the walls of a false aneurysm are composed of organized hematoma and pericardium and lack any element of the original myocardial wall.
*'''An important difference is the lower potential for rupture of a true aneurysm compared with a false aneurysm.'''
**Rupture of a true aneurysm is an uncommon phenomenon; therefore, surgical resection is necessary only when refractory angina pectoris, [[congestive heart failure]], systemic embolization, or refractory arrhythmias are present.
**In contrast, false aneurysms may rupture and require surgical repair.

*True aneurysms distort the shape of the left ventricle during both diastole and systole, and the motion of the aneurysmal segment is paradoxical.

*A true aneurysm has a wide neck, and the diameter of the neck is comparable with the maximal diameter of the aneurysm.

===Chest X Ray===
The presence of a discrete bulge in the heart anteriorly is suggestive of a true aneurysm.

===Chest CT Scan===
*True aneurysms will often have a wide neck and are often apical in location.
*False aneurysms will often have a narrow neck and are often posterior diaphragmatic in loccation.
