There are QS-waves in V1-V3 suggesting old anterior MI with persistent ST Elevation (LV aneurysm morphology), but I have written a couple papers showing that in LV aneurysm, the T-wave is not > 0.36 T/QRS Amplitude Best Distinguishes Acute Anterior MI from Anterior Left Ventricular Aneurysm. LV Aneurysm vs New Infarction?

IntroductionFlow diverters have demonstrated reliable safety and effectiveness for the treatment of selected anterior circulation intracranial aneurysms. However, posterior circulation aneurysms comprise around 10‐15% of all aneurysms, and they frequently present atypical morphological and anatomical characteristics.

6 Ruptured intracerebral aneurysms are associated with higher morbidity and mortality than unruptured ones. 10ResultsA total of 167 patients presented with ruptured aneurysm and the incidence of delirium was 38.3% (64 patients). This is secondary to delayed postoperative cerebral ischemia and infarction caused by vasospasm.7

Aneurysmal SAH (aSAH) was defined as those with culprit aneurysms; cases with no available vessel imaging were considered aSAH if the hemorrhage volume was “massive” or if the patient died rapidly after onset. The primary outcome assessed was unadjusted 30-day Case Fatality Rate (CFR), which was available through 2015.Results:We
