We present the case of a female patient admitted to a coronary care unit with resting dyspnea and pulmonary edema. She had developed a mechanical complication of myocardial infarction, i.e., partial rupture of the left ventricular wall in the region of left ventricular aneurysm after a previous infarction. The patient had successful remodeling surgery (resection of the left ventricular aneurysm with endoventriculoplasty).
