Overview
Echocardiography is the preferred modality for diagnosis LV aneurysm. It is helpful to estimate the size and it's location as well as presence of thrombosis in it's wall.
Echocardiography
- Echocardiography is the modality of choice for diagnosis LV aneurysm. [1][2]
- It can measure size and location of aneurysm however, it is helpful to distinguish true from false aneurysms based on the mouth size.
- Echocardiography is useful to diagnose dyskinesia or akinesia during systole.
- Echocardiography is helpful to diagnose mural thrombosis in aneurysm sac.
- Color flow echocardiography is helpful to establish the diagnosis based on in and out flow in aneurysm.
