Aneurysm of heart

An aneurysm of heart refers to an aneurysm involving cardiac tissue.
The word aneurysm refers to a bulge or ‘pocketing’ of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septumn, or within the aorta. When it concerns the heart muscle, it is called a cardiac aneurysm and is usually seen in the left ventricle of the heart.
