A case series of double-chambered left ventricle detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Double-chambered left ventricle (DCLV) is a rare congenital condition, and few case reports are mentioned in literature. Entity, clinical course, and prognosis remain unclear. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is often used for characterization of various congenital heart diseases and can be particularly useful for imaging rare phenomena.

Case summary

Three cases of DCLV were detected by CMR within 2 years in our CMR centre with and without associated congenital heart disease or hypertrabecularization. The patients did not suffer from cardiac symptoms despite the presence of premature ventricular complexes in one patient. Diagnosis of DCLV was made based on a first CMR study that was performed in adulthood, although some anatomical suspicion was already rais
