Aneurysm in the left ventricle can have two dangerous fates. The thin aneurysm wall can rupture, leading to blood leaking out of the ventricle into the pericardial sac, forming a pericardial tamponade that can cause diastolic heart failure. The other fate is what occurred here: thrombosis. However, the thrombus could loosen and cause embolization as well. | Aneurysm in the left ventricle can have two dangerous fates.
