Abstract

This paper presents the case of a 30-year-old man who was diagnosed with an apical-lateral wall left ventricular aneurysm with scarring, prominent left ventricular trabeculations, and mildly diminished systolic function. Working diagnosis was a congenital left ventricular aneurysm in the setting of left ventricular noncompaction, yet with a questionable defect of the pericardium.

Keywords: cardiomyopathy; congenital heart disease; left ventricular aneurysm.
