Descriptor aneurisma cardíaco
Entry term(s) aneurisma del corazón
Scope note: Combadura o dilatación localizada en la pared muscular del corazón (MIOCARDIO), por lo general en el VENTRÍCULO IZQUIERDO. Los aneurismas repletos de sangre son peligrosos porque pueden estallar. Los aneurismas fibrosos interfieren en la función cardiaca por pérdida de la contractilidad. Un aneurisma verdadero está limitado por la pared vascular o pared cardiaca. Falsos aneurismas son HEMATOMAS causados por rotura miocárdica.

Scope note: A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture.
