Left ventricular myocardial diverticular rare, as they represent 0.05% of all forms of diagnosed congenital heart disease. The circumstances of diagnosis are as variable as the multiplicity of symptoms with which they are associated. Consequently, treatments (or very often conservative management) are also varied and a standardized procedure has not been defined in this field, apart from a common sense approach.

Background: Ventricular diverticula are a rare congenital cardiac disorder presenting with an extremely low incidence. The presence of an apical diverticulum of the right ventricle has been associated with other congenital heart diseases such as tetralogy of Fallot. An important defining characteristic of ventricular diverticula that separates them from aneurysms through imaging techniques, is that they possess myocardial contraction synchronous to the adjacent walls, contributing to the ventricular stroke volume, so they do not usually require surgical treatment.

A myocardial diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by pouch-like protrusions within the myocardial wall, which can potentially lead to various cardiac complications. This case report describes a unique presentation of a left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) with an associated apical thrombus, highlighting the diagnostic and management challenges posed by this condition. A 58-year-old man presented to the emergency department with left arm weakness, wrist drop, and chest pain, initially raising concerns for a stroke.

Catheter ablation therapy for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF) is both difficult and has limited outcomes. The mechanisms underlying the development and persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF) are not fully understood; therefore, ablation strategies are diverse. A 45-year-old man was referred to our hospital for persistent atrial fibrillation to undergo radiofrequency catheter insertion (RFCA).

Article Synopsis
- - Ventricular diverticula are pouch-like structures that occur when heart muscle bulges outward from the inner heart lining, often causing no symptoms in patients.
- - These structures, while usually muscle-based, can lead to heart rhythm issues due to disruptions in the heart's structure.
- - The case discussed focuses on a rare right ventricular apical diverticulum (RVAD) that caused significant heart rhythm problems, successfully treated with a specialized procedure called catheter ablation, with no further issues reported afterward.

Left atrial diverticula (LADs) are thought to be associated with atrial fibrillation and an ischemic brain state. However, the mechanisms of LAD formation are unknown. Pulmonary vein thrombi (PVTs) can cause acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischemic stroke by releasing rather large particles.
