Abstract

A 50-year-old man presented twice within a period of two weeks with symptoms and electrocardio-graphic (ECG) findings suggesting postinfarct angina. The ECG showed sinus tachycardia with Q waves, ST-segment elevation and terminally negative T waves in lead II, III and aVF, suggesting remote inferior myocardial infarction. During the first hospitalisation the ECG also showed signs of pericarditis. Troponin I levels were only slightly elevated. Echocardiographic evaluation at the second presentation demonstrated a posterolateral false aneurysm following ischaemic left ventricular rupture (figure 1).
