Left-ventricle aneurysms associated with endocardial rupture: a set of clinical cases

[Notes from practice]
Alexandr Yagoda; Natalia Gladkikh; Elena Olegovna Razdorazumova; Elena Mikhailovna Mikhailenko;

The article offers the description of clinical cases involving rare cardiac aneurysms – subendocardial aneurysm an false aneurysm with primary endocardium defect. There is an explanation offered for the conditions of their occurrence. The comparative part focuses on the features of the course, and the possible outcomes, of aneurysms, including the results of a sectional study.
