Isolated true contractile left ventricular diverticulum in an adult patient; A case report and review of the literature

İzole sol ventriküler divertikül, ventrikül kasının lokal embriyolojik gelişim kusuruyla karekterize nadir bir anomali olup tek başına veya diğer kardiyak anomalilerle birlikte bulunabilir. Klinik olarak sıklıkla asemptomatik seyirli olsa da kalp yetersizliği, aritmi ve göğüs ağrısına yol açabileceği rapor edilmiştir. Bu nedenle, kliniğimize göğüs ağrısı ile başvuran ve izole sol ventriküler divertikül saptanan olgumuzu sunmayı uygun bulduk.

Yetişkin bir hastada izole, gerçek kontraktil sol ventriküler; Olgu sunumu ve literatürün gözden geçirilmesi

Isolated left ventricular diverticulum, which is characterized by local embryologic development failure of ventricular muscle, is a rare cardiac abnormality and it may be found in isolated form or with other cardiac abnormalities. Clinically, it has been reported that it might cause heart failure, arrhythmia or chest pain despite the fact that it may often follow an asymptomatic course. We present a case of is left ventricular diverticulum, detected in a patient who referred to our clinic complaining of chest pain.
