Abstract


 

Isolated left ventricular diverticulum, which is characterized by local embryologic development failure of

ventricular muscle, is a rare cardiac abnormality and it may be found in isolated form or with other cardiac

abnormalities.

Clinically, it has been reported that it might cause heart failure, arrhythmia or chest pain despite the fact that it

may often follow an asymptomatic course. We present a case of is left ventricular diverticulum, detected in a

patient who referred to our clinic complaining of chest pain.

Key Words: Isolated Ventricular Diverticulum, Chest Pain, Congenital Cardiac Malformation.
