AI Article Synopsis
- - The case involves a 54-year-old patient with congenital ventricular diverticulum (CVD), who experienced presyncope and multiple episodes of re-entrant ventricular tachycardias.
- - Diagnosis was challenging; echocardiograms were inconclusive, but cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) successfully revealed an apical accessory cavity connected to the ventricle.
- - The patient received a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator and was also referred for heart transplantation, highlighting the seriousness of the condition.
Article Abstract
Herein, we describe a 54-year-old patient with a congenital ventricular diverticulum (CVD), referred to our emergency department for presyncope episodes and multiple re-entrant ventricular tachycardias (VT). Significantly, echocardiographic findings were not clear, and the diagnosis was made by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI), which showed the presence of an apical accessory cavity connected to the ventricle and contracting synchronously. CMRI allowed the differential diagnosis with other outpouching cardiac defects. The patient underwent a subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator (S-ICD) implant and was referred for heart transplantation (HT). The diagnosis, treatment, and main findings of the CVD are discussed in this case report.
