J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2008 Oct;9(10):1080-2. doi: 10.2459/JCM.0b013e32830ce538.

Abstract

The differential diagnosis between left ventricular aneurysm and diverticulum remains a matter of debate. Cardiac magnetic resonance is dramatically helpful in the anatomical and functional characterization of the walls of any angiographical left ventricular outpouching.
