Congenital left ventricular diverticulum

Heart, Lung & Circulation
Arjamand ShauqCinzia Crawley

Abstract

Cardiac diverticula are rare and may have a wide spectrum of presentation ranging from an acute rupture and life threatening arrhythmias to being completely asymptomatic. The treatment options may vary but in view of their life threatening potential, the consensus is towards treating them early when the diagnosis was made. We present a case of an infant who presented in an emergency with cardiac arrest and was ultimately treated successfully on cardiopulmonary bypass and made an uneventful recovery. The literature has also been discussed on left ventricular diverticulum.

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.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

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.
