[Aneurysm of the left ventricle associated with inactive rheumatic heart disease. Report of a case].
A case of aneurism of the left ventricle, confirmed by ventriculogram, associated to an inactive rheumatic cardiopathy with a pure mitral stenosis is presented. Since none of the usual causes that have been reported were found to explain the aneurism of the left ventricle; the possibility of the aneurism resulting from residual myocardiac fibrosis produced by the rheumatic myocarditis is suggested.
