🔴True vs. Pseudoaneurysm – A Post-MI Complication You Must Know! ⤵️

🔹After a myocardial infarction (MI), the weakened ventricular wall can develop an aneurysm. But is it true or pseudo? The difference is critical!

🔴 True Aneurysm:
✅ Involves all layers of the myocardium (scar tissue)
✅ Has a wide neck with tapered edges
✅ Forms gradually, usually in the LV apex
✅ Low risk of rupture but can cause LV dysfunction & thrombus formation

⚠️ Pseudoaneurysm (a ticking time bomb!):
❌ Lacks myocardial layers—it's a contained rupture
❌ Has a narrow neck with abrupt edges
❌ Forms due to free wall rupture, held by pericardium
❌ High risk of rupture—needs urgent surgical repair!

🚨 Clinical Tip: A pseudoaneurysm is an emergency, while a true aneurysm is usually managed based on symptoms. Echo, MRI, or angiography can help differentiate them!
