Abstract
Two cases of aneurysm of the left ventricle occurring in Zambians are described: the probable congenital nature of such aneurysms usually found in the African races is contrasted with the origin from myocardial ischaemia generally found in the European races. The condition often presents with mitral incompetence and congestive cardiac failure, as it did in the two cases described.
