Overview
The most common ECG finding in LV aneurysm is persistent ST elevation.
Electrocardiogram
- Persistent ST elevation is suggestive of LV aneurysm.[1]
- Shown below is an example of an EKG of a person with a left ventricular aneurysm. Note the ST elevation in the anterior leads.
- True aneurysms distort the shape of the left ventricle during both diastole and systole, with paradoxical motion of the aneurysmal segment. Associated ST changes including ST elevation may occur, especially at high heart rates which may occur during exercise.
