We present a case of a 22-month-old boy with a hypokinetic and thin-walled aneurysm of the left ventricle apex. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed an akinetic aneurysm of the LV apex with a full-wall ischemic scar. Determining the origin of the aneurysm is challenging.

When there is MI extending all the way to the epicardium (transmural), that infarcted epicardium is often inflamed (postinfarction regional pericarditis, or PIRP). What complication is the patient with post-infarction regional pericarditis at risk for? Circulation 1993;88(3):896-904. 3) Oliva et al. (4) Hammill SC. Edwards WD.

Post-infarction Regional Pericarditis (PIRP) PIRP happens when MI is transmural, all the way from subendocardium to subepicardium, thus leading to inflammation of the subepicardium (next to the pericardium). MYOCARDIAL RUPTURE AND POSTINFARCTION REGIONAL PERICARDITIS KEY POINTS · Myocardial rupture occurs in 1 to 1.5% Re-occlusion 2.

When there are QS-waves, one should always think about LV aneurysm, but ST to QRS ratio and T-wave to QRS ratio are far too large and not compatible with left ventricular aneurysm. These findings together are more commonly seen with pericarditis. There is some R wave in the lateral precordial leads.
