Author ProfileAbstract
Mechanical complications of myocardial infarction are rare but have
elevated short- and long-term mortality rates. The authors present a
rare case of an inferobasal left ventricular aneurysm and rupture after
a silent inferior infarction. A multimodality approach is important in
the diagnosis and management.
