Abstract

We present a case report of a 47-year-old male with a known history of recent diabetes who presented with symptoms suggestive of Dressler syndrome, along with the incidental finding of a left ventricular aneurysm. Dressler syndrome is a delayed immune-mediated response following myocardial injury, commonly observed post-myocardial infarction (MI) or cardiac surgery. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the atypical presentation of Dressler syndrome and its association with complications such as ventricular aneurysm, particularly in patients with pre-existing comorbidities.
