Double-chambered ventricle is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality, most commonly affecting the right ventricle. Here, we report a case of an incidental diagnosis of this condition affecting the left ventricle (LV), which is found much less frequently, and the use of contrast echocardiography in its evaluation. The addition of computed tomography (CT), highlighting the blood supply of both chambers by the left anterior descending (LAD) artery allowed us to confirm the diagnosis.
双腔心室是一种罕见的先天性心脏异常,最常累及右心室。在此,我们报告一例偶然诊断为累及左心室(LV)的这种疾病的病例,左心室受累的情况更为少见,以及在其评估中使用对比超声心动图的情况。计算机断层扫描(CT)的补充检查突出了左前降支(LAD)动脉对两个腔室的血液供应,这使我们得以确诊。
