Congenital ventricular diverticulum and MI – Diagnostic challenges and implications

Congenital ventricular diverticulum and MI – Diagnostic challenges and implications

The use of modern cardiac imaging techniques suggests that congenital ventricular diverticulum (CVD) may be more common than generally believed and may present asymptomatically in adult life. We present a case of congenital left ventricular diverticulum diagnosed in a patient presenting with myocard...
