Figure 3. Representative LGE on gadolinium‐enhanced CMR images in patients with LVAA.

Figure 3

A 57‐year‐old man with a 2.7‐cm aneurysm (red arrowhead) in diastolic (A) and systolic phase (B), with midcavity obstruction visible in systole. Contrast‐enhanced CMR image reveals transmural LGE at the aneurysmal rim (C, yellow arrowhead). An 82‐year‐old woman with a small‐sized 0.7‐cm apical aneurysm (green arrowhead) in diastolic (D) and systolic phase (E); sigmoid hypertrophy (septum>lateral wall) with LVOT obstruction is visible. (F) The contrast‐enhanced CMR image displays diffused midwall LGE with extension to the apical aneurysm (blue arrows). CMR indicates cardiovascular magnetic resonance; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; LVAA, left ventricular apical aneurysm; and LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract.
