These are all findings that can be expected with left ventricular aneurysm. The ECG shows what is likely an atrial ectopic rhythm with a left anterior hemiblock. There are QS-waves in V1-V4 with a fragmentation/notch in the last part of the QRS. There is some STE. This ECG does not show any sign of OMI.

For example, transitioning from general cardiology to interventional cardiology or electrophysiology. Cardiology Subspecializations such as interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, or cardiovascular imaging focus on treating heart diseases with precision and innovation. Here are a few examples: 1.

ABSTRACT Introduction Left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that involves the progressive dilatation of the left atrial appendage (LAA), predisposing the patient to serious complications such as atrial tachyarrhythmias, life-threatening systemic thromboembolism, and cardiac dysfunction.

Similar changes may also be noted in left ventricular aneurysm after a myocardial infarction as the ST segment may remain elevated when there is a dyskinetic segment. T wave inversions are seen in leads I and aVL as well. There is no reciprocal ST segment depression in the inferior leads, possibly because it is beyond the acute phase.

A case for pleomorphism Josephson elucidated the concept of pleomorphism during electrophysiological study of patients with recurrent, sustained ventricular tachycardia. It was postulated that such an ECG feature is associated with advanced myocardial dysfunction, to include left ventricular aneurysm, as the cause of arrhythmia. [7]
