Overview
Physical findings on cardiac examination in patients with LV aneurysms include diffuse displaced apical impulse, S3 and/or S4 heart sounds and mitral regurgitation murmur.
Physical exam
Common physical findings of LV aneurysm include:[1]
- Palpation
- Diffuse, sustained apical systolic thrust and a double impulse.
- Displaced apical impulse to the left of the mid clavicular line.
- Auscultation
- Third heart sound (S3) and often a fourth sound (S4) are present.
- There may be an apical pansystolic murmur due to LV wall anatomical distortion an if mitral regurgitation is present.
