Explain False Left Ventricular Aneurysm?

False Left Ventricular Aneurysm :  False aneurysm develops after acute rupture of an infarct. It is usually fatal, but a few survive because of previous adhesions between parietal pericardium and epicardium. The mouth is usually narrow and the aneurysin may expand and rupture. They occur more often on the diaphragmatic surface.

Doppler colour flow imaging and trans oesophaeal echocardiography help in diagnosing a false aneurysm. Resection is always recommended and carries higher risk than surgery for true aneurysm.
