Isolated Congenital Left Ventricular Diverticulum

Congenital left ventricular diverticula are rare and usually asymptomatic. Generally other cardiac malformations accompany and they are diagnosed during early childhood. In this article we report a 70-year-old female patient with preoperative chest pain in whom a contractile isolated left ventricular diverticulum is found during left ventriculography. The coronary arteries were normal and she had no other congenital abnormalities. We decided to follow-up the patient medically.
