In a prospective study of 1012 patients above the age of 12 years, we detected 4 (0.4%) cases of left ventricular false tendon (LVFT) by echocardiography. Two patients had significant heart disease and LVFT was perhaps a chance occurrence; two others had no significant heart disease and LVFT probably had a causal association with S3 gallop in one and systolic murmur in the other. Diagnosis of LVFT may help to explain cardiac findings of uncertain origin.
在一项针对1012名12岁以上患者的前瞻性研究中，我们通过超声心动图检测到4例（0.4%）左心室假腱索（LVFT）。两名患者患有严重心脏病，LVFT可能是偶然出现；另外两名患者无严重心脏病，LVFT在其中一名患者中可能与S3奔马律有因果关系，在另一名患者中与收缩期杂音有因果关系。LVFT的诊断可能有助于解释病因不明的心脏检查结果。
