Overview

An echocardiography is the preferred modality for diagnosing LV aneurysm. It is helpful for estimating the size and location of the aneurysm, as well as the presence of thrombosis in the wall of the aneurysm.

Echocardiography

  • It is the modality of choice for diagnosing LV aneurysm. [1][2]
  • It can measure the size and location of the aneurysm, and it can help distinguish true from false aneurysms based on the mouth size.
  • Echocardiography is useful for diagnosing dyskinesia or akinesia during systole.
  • Echocardiography can diagnose mural thrombosis in the aneurysmal sac.
  • Color flow echocardiography is helpful for establishing the diagnosis based on the in and out flow pattern in the aneurysm.
