Isolated, Broad-Based Apical Diverticulum: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Is a "Terminator" of Cardiac Imaging Modality for the Evaluation of Cardiac Apex

In spite of the frequent involvement of many cardiac diseases, it is difficult to evaluate the left ventricular apex in detail with transthoracic echocardiography, a first-line imaging modality in cardiovascular diseases, because the apex is very closely located at the echocardiographic probe. Cardi...

description In spite of the frequent involvement of many cardiac diseases, it is difficult to evaluate the left ventricular apex in detail with transthoracic echocardiography, a first-line imaging modality in cardiovascular diseases, because the apex is very closely located at the echocardiographic probe. Cardiac magnetic resonance enables us to evaluate the cardiac apex without any limitation to the image acquisition. We here present a case regarding a broad-based apical diverticulum, which was initially confused with apical aneurysm.
