AN ASYMPTOMATIC LEFT VENTRICULAR DIVERTICULUM

Abstract

the ventricle, including endocardium, myocardium and pericardium. They have been classified in fibrous and muscular types. Congenital ventricular diverticulum may be asymptomatic or may be present with various clinical symptoms. Diverticulum is commonly seen in childhood, and fibrous type being the most common type. Muscular type is very rare seen in adults. We report here, a case with muscular type asymptomatic congenital left ventricular diverticulum in a 65 year-old female
