Other observers3report an incidence of 37 per cent, but they must include, as Crawford4points out, even small indentations of the endocardial wall at the site of an old infarct. He feels that the term cardiac aneurysm "should be confined to a permanent...Bibliography1. White PD: Heart disease, 3rd Ed., 1947, The Macmillan Co., New York, 595-598. Google Scholar2.
