Abstract

Atrioventricular block which caused death in a 6-month-old baby is reported. Necropsy examination revealed the only abnormality in the heart to be an aneurysm of the membranous septum. Histological examination of the conduction system showed fibrosis and attenuation of the bundle of His at the lower border of the aneurysm.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
