Cardiol Young. 2023 Jul;33(7):1196-1198. doi: 10.1017/S1047951122003614. Epub 2022 Nov 17.

Abstract

Double-chambered left ventricle is a rare CHD that is usually asymptomatic and managed conservatively but can present with ventricular arrhythmias or heart failure. It is important to differentiate from acquired diseases such as post-infarct pseudoaneurysm that need surgical treatment, and cardiac MRI offers an excellent diagnostic tool.

Keywords: Double-chambered left ventricle; accessory left ventricle; cardiac MRI; echocardiogram.
