Echocardiographic findings in left ventricular septal aneurysm

Abstract

The unusual echocardiographic findings are described in a case of congenital interventricular septal aneurysm. The aneurysm involved the middle part of the interventricular septum and was associated with a cleft of the mitral valve and an atrial septal defect but with no evidence of an atrioventricular septal defect. There was extensive fibroelastosis of the right ventricle. The patient presented with brief runs of ventricular tachycardia.
