[Left ventricular aneurysm and differential diagnosis with pseudoaneurysm]. / Aneurisma do ventrículo esquerdo e diagnóstico diferencial com pseudo-aneurisma.

Left ventricular aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm are two complications of myocardial infarction in which the role of imaging is paramount. The authors describe a case of a true aneurysm of the posterior wall, for which cardiac magnetic resonance was useful, although only intra-operative assessment confirmed the diagnosis.
