“Atherosclerotic aneurysms are usually multiple and involve more than one coronary artery as compared with congenital, traumatic, or dissecting aneurysms that are often solitary. The RCA is the most frequently involved vessel (40-61%), followed by the LAD (15?32%), and circumflex coronary artery” (15?23%). El Quindy

Round Calcification in the Region of the Left Hilum
41 year old male presents with chest pain.
Frontal CXR shows a rounded calcification, (black arrow in the left image and red arrow in the magnified right image). The calcification is approximately 2cms in size and represents an aneurysm of the left coronary artery (LCA).

ANEURYSM OF THE LCA AND ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
41 year old male presents with chest pain.
Axial CT without contrast (a) reveals aneurysmal calcification in the region of the proximal LAD,(red arrow). In image b is a similar image following contrast administration. The aneurysm is mostly thrombosed (red arrow). The calcification is approximately 2cms in size and represents a thrombosed aneurysm of the left coronary artery (LCA).
Imagesof the left ventricle ( c,d ) show a dilated LV, with subendocardial fatty infiltration of the LV myocardium in the septum, and apex (white arrowhead). There is thinning of the myocardium in the septum and apex.
These findings are consistent with myocardial infarction with and ischemic cardiomyopathy.
The left atrium (LA) is enlarged as noted in image d.

ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
41 year old male presents with chest pain.
Axial CT with contrast at the level of the enlarged left atrium (LA) (a) reveals a dilated LV, with subendocardial fatty infiltration of the LV myocardium in the septum (white arrowhead), and apex red arrowhead). There is thinning of the myocardium in the septum and apex.
Image B is more inferior and taken at the level of the dilated RA and normal sized RV showing similar subendocardial fatty infiltration of the LV myocardium in the septum (white arrowhead), and apex red arrowhead). There is thinning of the myocardium in the septum and apex. The transverse dimension of the LV was 7.2 cms which is significantly dilated
These findings are consistent with myocardial infarction with and ischemic cardiomyopathy.
