  • Title: Isolated right ventricular aneurysm following right ventricular infarction.
    Author: Andersen HR, Falk E.
    Journal: Cardiology; 1987; 74(6):479-82. PubMed ID: 3435910.
    Abstract:
    A 78-year-old man with atherosclerotic heart disease developed extensive right ventricular infarction fibrosis with aneurysm formation following right coronary artery occlusion. No symptoms of right-sided heart failure were present. Postmortem examination revealed that 40% of the right ventricle, 11% of the septum and 7% of the left ventricular free wall were infarcted due to right coronary artery occlusion. This is the first documented case of isolated aneurysm of the right ventricle following infarction and it demonstrates that even extensive right ventricular destruction may be present without symptoms.
