Left ventricular aneurysms have an incidence of 3. 5 to 38%; their occurrence was first described in 1757 by John Hunter. The simultaneous presence of myocardial infarction and left ventricle aneurysm (LV) in the same patient is extremely rare and usually occurs during the first week after the MDI. Surgery remains the only valid treatment option.
