Abstract

Congenital aneurysms and diverticula of the left ventricle represent a rare group of anomalies in the spectrum of congenital heart disease. Although natural histories of these anomalies are considerably different and characterized by different rates of lifethreatening events, similarity of their clinical presentation and diagnostic criteria do not allow to differentiate this anomalies at routine examination. Data on etiology, methods of diagnosis and treatment published by various authors is controversial. In this review we present relevant aspects of etiology, pathophysiology and treatment strategy of patients with left ventricular diverticula and congenital aneurysms.

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.

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.
