Zusammenfassung: | 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. |
