Aneurysmal dilation of the cardiac apex partially filled by a thrombus. The wall of the aneurysm is thinner than the wall of the rest of the left ventricle.
Case Discussion
A left ventricular aneurysm refers to a discrete, dyskinetic area of the left ventricular wall with a broad neck (as opposed to left ventricular pseudoaneurysms, thus often termed true aneurysms)
