A case of left ventricular aneurysm associated with an anomalous coronary artery.
A 54-year-old man presented with continual angina pectoris at rest, associated with an anomalous coronary artery. He also had an aneurysm at the submitral region of the left ventricular postero-lateral wall, without evidence or prior myocardial infarction, which showed hypokinetic inward motion during systole. We assume that this was a rare case of left ventricular aneurysm without prior myocardial infarction, the etiology which might related to the anomalous coronary artery.
