What Is an Aneurysm?
6. Ventricular Aneurysm
The ventricles are names given to two of the heart’s four chambers. A ventricular aneurysm is an aneurysm that happens on the wall of a ventricle. This will sometimes happen as a result of a chest injury, although it is usually a result of a heart attack. It is a potentially very serious condition.
Aneurysms can also happen in other places in the body. Other relatively common places for aneurysms to occur are the spleen, and in the intestines. They are also relatively likely to occur behind the knee. These tend to not be as dangerous as the other types mentioned, but will still be very serious in some cases.
