BackgroundAbdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized bulge of the abdominal aorta, which mainly manifests as a pulsatile mass in the abdomen. Once an abdominal aortic aneurysm ruptures, the patient's life is seriously endangered. Surgery is the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm.

LV aneurysm has QS-waves, so this couldn't be LV aneurysm, right? RBBB makes it mandatory that there are R'-waves even in the presence of LV aneurysm. Additionally, it is very difficult to differentiate subacute reperfused OMI from LV aneurysm: both have Q-waves and inverted T-waves. This is HIGHLY suspicious for OMI.

The EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) has been shown to mediate inflammatory vascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and aortic aneurysm. Similarly, ER-stress inhibition also significantly decreased the rupture rate.

Thus, this is either: 1) a subacute MI with a significant (large amount) of completed infarction, or 2) old MI with persistent ST Elevation (LV aneurysm). The patient is pain free now, so it is either a reperfused subacute MI or a Non-OMI superimposed on an old MI (aneurysm). No convincing evidence for LV thrombus.
