Abstract

Double-chambered left ventricle is a rare CHD that is usually asymptomatic and managed conservatively but can present with ventricular arrhythmias or heart failure. It is important to differentiate from acquired diseases such as post-infarct pseudoaneurysm that need surgical treatment, and cardiac MRI offers an excellent diagnostic tool.
