ResumoA 41-year-old man with a left ventricular aneurysm received electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for treatment of depression, tolerating the procedure without any cardiovascular complications. This case suggests that ECT may be safely administered to patients with ventricular aneurysm and multiple cardiac risk factors provided that additional precautions are taken.
