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

Project description:BackgroundDouble-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 summaryThree 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 raised by previous echocardiography.DiscussionDouble-chambered left ventricle, synonymous with the terminus 'cor triventriculare sinistrum', has been previously perceived as a rare phenomenon compared with double-chambered right ventricle. It has to be distinguished from ventricular aneurysm or cardiac diverticulum and is characterized by an additional contractile septum with normal wall structure that divides the LV cavum into two (rather) same-sized chambers. The prognosis seems to be benign, since there is no restriction in functionality and no increased thrombogenicity until adulthood. Consequently, there is (presumably) no need for a tailored therapy-at least in the cases present here. Accordingly, we recommend follow-up CMR examinations for progress monitoring and recognize CMR's significant role for diagnosis and follow-up of cardiac abnormalities in orphan diseases. Due to its broader availability, we expect further cases of DLVC in the future.

From Double-Chambered Right Ventricle to Double-Chambered Left Ventricle: Unusual Evolution of a Ventricular Septal Defect.

Project description:We present the first imaging registry of the progressive isolation of an apical chamber of the right ventricle caused by the hypertrophy of the moderator band generated from the hemodynamic effect of a ventricular septal defect, leaving the apex of the right ventricle as an accessory chamber of the left ventricle. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

VACTERL association with double-chambered left ventricle: A rare occurrence.

Project description:VACTERL association is a non-random association of birth defects of unknown etiology derived from structures of embryonic mesoderm. The common cardiac defects seen with VACTERL association are ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and tetralogy of Fallot. We present a 2-year-old child with VACTERL association in whom we detected double-chambered left ventricle on transthoracic echocardiography.

Rare Case of an Adult With Double-Chambered Left Ventricle.

Project description:The rare case of an adult with a double-chambered left ventricle was revealed using multimodality imaging using echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in a 38-year-old asymptomatic male patient. The congenital malformation was dominated by a second, coarsely trabeculated muscular shelf dividing the left ventricle into 2 chambers without signs for left ventricular inflow or outflow tract obstruction. The partition wall did not show any signs for intramyocardial fibrosis in late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. Flow measurements excluded a relevant intracardial shunt across the additive perimembranous ventricular septal defect. There were no signs for global right and left ventricular dysfunction with left and right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction within normal limits. A conservative approach was recommended. In summary, we are able to present the case of an adult with a double-chambered left ventricle with a second muscular "septum" partially dividing the left ventricular cavity without causing a relevant impact on cardiac function or clinical signs for heart failure.

Two types of double chambered left ventricle: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundDouble chambered left ventricle (DCLV) is a rare anatomical variant of the left ventricular structure characterized by the division of the left ventricle into two distinct chambers due to abnormal muscle bundles or septa. This anomaly typically results in primary and secondary chambers within the left ventricle. Due to the lack of conspicuous clinical symptoms, DCLV is often overlooked.Case summaryThe first patient was a 69-year-old male experiencing intermittent chest tightness for several weeks. Transthoracic echocardiography indicated the presence of Type A DCLV, which was subsequently confirmed by 3D echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. An additional case is also worthy of note, during a routine transthoracic echocardiographic examination of a 48-year-old male, we unexpectedly discovered Type B DCLV. His unique cardiac structure was clearly demonstrated through 3D echocardiography.DiscussionDouble chambered left ventricle is a rare structural heart malformation often overlooked due to atypical symptoms. This paper presents two cases of DCLV, illustrating two distinct classifications. Comprehensive understanding of the imaging manifestations of DCLV is imperative for accurate clinical diagnosis.
