An inflated protrusion in the wall of the left ventricle of the heart (the chamber responsible for circulating oxygen-rich blood throughout the body). Typically arising from a myocardial infarction (heart attack), ventricular aneurysm can subsequently lead to heart failure (diminished pumping efficiency) or arrhythmias (irregular heart rhythms).
