Hello Diego!! Thanks for comment! Before we did cardiac catheter we thought about the possible diferential diagnosis, but I couldn´t find plausible diagnoses. In uptodate.com I found only the Chagas-disease as a typical disease that cause posterior aneurysms. Sarcoidosis, systemic disease - especially chronic granulomatous diseases - cause apical aneurysms. Actually the patient has a severe coronary disease and need a bypass-op, but I don´t know, whether cardiac surgeons want to remove the aneurysm. But I think in that case that will do remove aneurysm. But you are very right: If the patient hasn´t got a coronary disease we wouldn´t recommend an op of aneurysm. I found no hard recommendation regarding asymptomatic cardiac aneurysms in current guidlines.
Nice vid Jorg . This finding shows that WE MUST EVALUATE THE WHOLE HEART . NO VIEW SHOULD BE MISSED . NEVER ABOUT THERAPEUTICAL OPTIONS?????? I DON?T KNOW ....IN CASE THE PATIENT IS TOTALLY ASYMPTOMATIC AND IN GOOD HEALTH PROBABLY I WOULD STAY OUT OF SURGICAL REPAIR . I AM NOT A CARDIOLOGIST BUT I AM NOT SURE IF A SURGICAL FIXWOULD BE THE BETTER OPTION . THE HEART IS ALREADY REMODELLED MAYBE I WOULD SEARCH FOR A PHARMACOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION OF THIS CONDITION : ABOUT CORONARY DISEASE .....IT?S A DIFFERENT APPROACH THAN THE ANEURYSMAL REMODELLING THANKS FOR SHARING BUT I AM ONLY AN INTENSIVIST OF A TRAUMA ICU I HAVE NO SPECIFIC SKILLS AND EXPERTISE
about 50 y old patient with incidental finding of posterior wall myocardial aneurysm. The patient hasn´t got any cardial symptomy or afflictions. No stay abroad in clinical history (Chagas-disease as a diferential diagnosis). In cardiac catheter we found a severe coronary disease.
What do you think about therapeutical options of such a kind of myocardial aneurysm.

Sorry for the interruptions of that vid. I did have some problems with
conversion of of my echo-vids.
