True aneurysm in a 42-year-old man with cardiomyopathy of unknown cause who was referred for further evaluation. (a) Short-axis image from SSFP cine MRI shows a wide-mouthed outpouching (arrow), compatible with an aneurysm, arising from the anterior wall of the LV and containing intermediate-signal-intensity material (*) within it. (b) Short-axis phase-sensitive segmented inversion-recovery LGE image shows diffuse enhancement of the aneurysm wall (arrow), compatible with infarcted myocardium, as well as a low-signal-intensity thrombus within the aneurysm.
