  • Description: Aneurysm of the heart following myocardial infarction is not infrequent at autopsy, but its diagnosis during life is often missed. It may affect the anterior or the posterior wall of the left ventricle or the interventricular septum. It very rarely develops during the phase of infarction and longevity is relatively short. No more than about 12 per cent of cases live longer than five years. The case reported here developed physical signs and roentgenologic findings of aneurysm of the upper anterior part of the left ventricle three days after the onset of infarction and at the present writing, more than nine years later, the patient is still alive and shows fairly good cardiac function. A second aneurysm developed at the apical portion within two years after the same infarction. Calcification involving both aneurysms took place. There was no recurring infarction, no embolization and no heart failure after the subacute phase of the disease subsided.
