Overview
Differential diagnosis
- True LV aneurysm must be differentiated from false aneurysms.
| True LV aneurysm | False LV aneurysm |
|---|---|
| Mostly apical (anterolateral) | Mostly inferoposterior |
| Wide mouth | Narrow mouth |
| Wall composed of LV myocardial remnants and fibrous tissue | Wall made by parietal pericardium |
| Almost never ruptures | Often ruptures |
| May contain thrombus | Almost always contain thrombus |
- Left Ventricular Diverticulum is another differential diagnosis of LV aneurysm.
- Left ventricular diverticulum is defined as an outpouching structure that contains endocardium, myocardium, and pericardium and displays normal contraction and considered to be congenital.
