Abstract
A 51-year-old woman with known ischemic cardiomyopathy presented to the family doctor for investigation of mild anemia. A routinely performed computed tomography of the abdomen resulted in the suspicion of intracardiac thrombi. The subsequent cardiac examinations showed a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle as a result of a silent rupture of a pre-existing left ventricular aneurysm.
