A case of double-chambered left ventricle presenting with heart failure symptoms.

Double-chambered left ventricle is a rare CHD that is usually asymptomatic and managed conservatively but can present with ventricular arrhythmias or heart failure. It is important to differentiate from acquired diseases such as post-infarct pseudoaneurysm that need surgical treatment, and cardiac MRI offers an excellent diagnostic tool.

Disease-induced repolarization heterogeneity in infarcted myocardium contributes to VT arrhythmogenesis but how apicobasal and transmural (AB-TM) repolarization gradients additionally affect post-infarct VT dynamics is unknown. The goal of this study is to assess how AB-TM repolarization gradients impact post-infarct VT dynamics using patient-specific heart models. 3D late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance images were acquired from seven post-infarct patients.

Aims: Our study assesses the value of electrograms (EGMs) characteristics to identify a ventricular tachycardia (VT) isthmus entrance in patients with post-infarct VT. Post-infarct VTs are mostly due to a re-entrant circuit. A pacemapping (PM) approach is able to localize the VT isthmus during sinus rhythm.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to create an efficient processing pipeline that transforms CT images into personalized cardiac electrophysiology models for better planning of radiofrequency ablation in ventricular tachycardia.
- A patient-specific 3D heart model is built from CT scans, incorporating scar identification and wave propagation simulation to assist in real-time virtual pacing and target prediction for ablation.
- The framework shows promise in improving outcomes of VT interventions by potentially reducing procedure time and enhancing success rates through accurate pre-operative planning.
Surgical treatment of post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm: Case series highlighting various surgical strategies.
Ann Med Surg (Lond)
April 2017
Division of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Center of Tirana, Tirana, Albania.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the surgical treatment of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP), a rare condition with high mortality rates, analyzing 13 patients over a 10-year span.
- Various surgical techniques were employed, including suturing and patching, alongside other procedures like coronary artery bypass, with an operative mortality rate of 30.8%.
- The study concludes that surgical repair of post-infarct LVP can have an acceptable mortality rate and notes that no cardiac ruptures occurred in the treated patients.
