Abstract

Multiple left ventricular aneurysms (LVAs) are rare, especially in a young female. A 29-year-old woman presented vague symptoms. Multiple LVAs were revealed and confirmed on different imaging modalities, including chest radiography, echocardiography, contrast ventriculography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Detailed work-up for probable etiologies including ischemic, infectious, inflammatory and autoimmune causes was negative. In the absence of angina, decompensated congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and embolism, the patient was managed conservatively, with excellent mid-term outcome. Resumo: Múltiplos aneurismas no ventrículo esquerdo (MAVE) são uma situação rara em especial numa jovem que apresentou queixas vagas. Vários MAVE foram revelados e confirmados em diferentes modalidades de imagem. A doente submeteu-se a radiografia de tórax, ecocardiografia, ecografia de contraste e ressonância magnética cardíaca. A investigação minuciosa de etiologias isquémica, infecciosa, inflamatória e autoimune foi negativa. Dada a ausência de angina, insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, arritmias e embolia, a doente foi tratada de forma conservadora apresentando um excelente prognóstico a médio prazo.
