Electrocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging findings of the patient (A) Admission electrocardiography revealed normal sinus rhythm with narrow QRS duration, mild ST-elevation accompanying QS formation in leads II, III, and aVF. (B) Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an inferior wall left ventricle aneurysm (black arrowed).
