title: Ventricular pseudo-aneurysm demonstrated by multiple gated cardiac imaging.
abstract: The use of multiple gated cardiac imaging in the diagnosis of left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm is reported and the clinical and therapeutic implications are discussed. Complemented with myocardial perfusion imaging, it is the method of choice for screening patients following infarction or chest trauma who may develop this potentially treatable complication of myocardial necrosis.
