- Abstract
The article discusses a medical imaging analysis for a 48-year-old male who was diagnosed with a large apical ventricular septal defect (VSD). It notes several symptoms that accompanied the patient's condition including sweating, palpitations, and atypical chest pain. Levocardiography revealed a suspected left ventricular aneurysm, while conclusive diagnosis for VSD was done through echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
