Abstract: Submitral left ventricular aneurysm is a cardiac pathology widely recognized, but relatively unknown, occurred almost exclusively in African black patients. Although still this idea of racial prevalence exists, cases have been described in patients of all the races. Ten Brazilian cases were reported. One of them was presented inside an Italian paper that refers the surgical treatment of a Brazilian patient of black race. We reported one more submitral left ventricular aneurysm case in a brown female patient, w… Show more

Ventricular arrhythmia 6 and peripheral/cerebral embolism 3 are two common manifestations of this pathology, nevertheless, asymptomatic cases may also be diagnosed incidentally 2 . Heart failure due to MI is present in most of the cases 5 .…”

“…Among the iatrogenic causes mitral valve replacement, and as a sequela to electrophysiology studies have been reported previously [73]. a. Cardiomyopathy [74] b. Compression of left main coronary artery (seen in severe mitral regurgitation) [75] c. Complete heart block [76] d. Sudden cardiac death [75] MANAGEMENT Usually ECG and chest X-ray are non-specific hence do not help in SMA detection.…”

Clinicamente, se caracterizam por sintomas de insuficiência cardíaca, insuficiência mitral e ocasionalmente devido à expansão do aneurisma pode existir compressão de vasos coronários 6 . O ecocardiograma é o método inicial de diagnóstico por ser uma técnica não invasiva e econômica, e a ausência de lesões na anatomia coronariana durante a coronariografia, associada à localização típica, permitem uma alta suspeita desta entidade.…”
