We report a 51-year-old asymptomatic male, with type II diabetes, referred to our outpatient clinic due to ST and T alterations on the precordial leads on the electrocardiogram. The echocardiogram showed apical akinesia and left ventricular hypertrophy. There were no angiographic lesions in the coronary angiography. ⋯ According to the European Cardiology Society Risk Score, the patient had a low sudden death risk. However, this score does not consider the presence of an aneurysm as risk factor for sudden death, but it is considered in the 2017 ACC/AHA Heart Rhythm Society Guidelines, as a major risk factor. Therefore a defibrillator was implanted, and he was discharged on permanent oral anticoagulation.
