Cardiac ventricular aneurysm in a child

Pediatric Cardiology
H ChiuD G Thoele

Abstract

Cardiac ventricular aneurysms are anomalous developments that are multifactorial in origin. Few pediatric cases have been cited. The majority of the cited cases have had negative consequences. We report an asymptomatic boy with an aneurysm incidentally found, and his identical twin brother with no evidence of aneurysm.
