An acute posterior myocardial infarction complicated with late pseudoaneurysm of the posterior wall.
Diagnostic image: An 80-year-old man is referred because of an acute posterior infarction. Because of persisting pain and apparition of a new murmur, an echocardiography is performed showing inferoposterolateral akinesis complicated by ventricular wall pseudoaneurysm. After discussing with patient and family, conservative therapy was continued. A clue for diagnosis of pseudoaneurysm is the presence of a systolic murmur.
