Abstract

Congenital left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) or diverticulum (LVD) is rare cardiac anomalies. We aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics and outcome in all ever published patients. MEDLINE, Web of science, Google and EMBASE, and reference lists of relevant articles were searched for publications reporting on LVA or LVD patients. We identified 809 patients published since 1816 [354 (49.1%) LVA, 453 (50.6%) LVD, 2 (0.3%) both]. Mean age at diagnosis was 34.1±27 (LVA) and 29.7±27.6years (LVD; p=0.05). 48.9% were male. LVA was larger (38.7±22.5mm versus 31.4±21.2mm; p=0.002) and frequently found in submitral location (33% versus 4.9%; p<0.001), LVD was frequently located at the LV-apex (61.2% versus 28.7%; p<0.001). LVD was often associated with cardiac (34.2% versus 11%; p<0.001) or extracardiac anomalies (32.7% versus 3%; p<0.001). LVA patients presented more frequently with ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (18.1% versus 13.1%; p=0.01), the incidences of rupture (4% versus 4.5%; p=0.9), syncope (8.3% versus 5.1%; p=0.1), and embolic events (4.9% versus 3.6%; p=0.4) at presentation were not different between LVA and LVD. Mean follow-up was 56.3±43months. Cardiac death occurred more frequently in the LVA group (11.5% versus...Continue Reading

Cardiac Electrophysiology

Cardiac electrophysiology is the study of electrical activities of the heart and includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac events. Find the latest research on cardiac electrophysiology here.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Coarctation

Aortic coarctation is a congenital condition characterized by narrowing of the aorta. Discover the latest research on this disease here.
