Abstract

We report a case of a patient with a missed anterior myocardial infarction and associated ischemic cardiomyopathy. The patient had a massive true left ventricular aneurysm causing dynamic right ventricular compression, with associated cardiogenic shock, for which a heart transplantation was ultimately performed.

Keywords: heart transplantation; left ventricular aneurysm; ventricular interdependence.
