Early Detection of Left Ventricular Diverticulum by Transthoracic Echocardiography

Left ventricular diverticulum is a very rare entity to be found in adults. Noninvasive echocardiography can offer useful information prior to contrast-enhanced computer tomography or invasive angiography. We evaluated a patient with left ventricular apical diverticulum but complained no symptoms. Tr...

description Left ventricular diverticulum is a very rare entity to be found in adults. Noninvasive echocardiography can offer useful information prior to contrast-enhanced computer tomography or invasive angiography. We evaluated a patient with left ventricular apical diverticulum but complained no symptoms. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a outpouching at left ventricle apex. A 640-slice computed tomography later confirmed the left ventricular diverticulum.
