Ultrasound in the diagnosis of rare congenital anomalies of left ventricle and mitral valve: brief pictorial review
https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0771-2022-3-30-40
Abstract
The brief pictorial review presents the ultrasound features of left ventricle and mitral valve rare congenital abnormalities. The ultrasound findings in such abnormalities as double-chambered left ventricle, bifid cardiac apex, diverticulum of the left ventricle, and double-orifice mitral valve are described. Knowledge of the anatomical and ultrasound features provides the accurate differential diagnosis of presented abnormalities.
