Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is an uncommon congenital heart disease. Anomalous muscle bundles in the right ventricle divide the right ventricle into two portions and cause intracavitary obstruction of the right ventricle. We report a patient with DCRV mimicking asymmetric septal hypertrophy. We did clinical, echocardiographic and angiographic evaluation. Surgical intervention was su...

In the usual instance of an intracardiac right-toleft shunt the blood participating in the shunt traverses a capillary bed before it returns to the chamber from which it originated. In an uncommon instance some of the shunted blood returns to the chamber of origin through intracardiac channels, yielding a phenomenon which may be termed a 'circular' shunt. This term was first used with reference...

The results of complete repair of double-outlet right ventricle with pulmonic stenosis in 22 Mayo Clinic patients were analyzed. The overall mortality rate was 32%. Since 1960, the mortality rate has been reduced to 16%. Anomalies of the distribution of the right coronary artery, a second ventricular septal defect of the atrioventricular canal type, and significant residual pulmonic stenosis we...

Eleven cases of double inlet left ventricle have been presented. Double inlet left ventricle is characterized by the tricuspid valve opening partly (partial type) or completely (complete type) into the morphological left ventricle. The morphological right ventricle is usually hypoplastic but may be normally formed. Even when the right ventricle is hypoplastic, both the sinus and the outflow por...

A 10‐year‐old male child was referred to our emergency room for acute right heart failure who had two times of syncope before. On admission, the electrocardiogram showed that T‐wave inversions were visible in most leads, QRS duration was prolonged with 120 ms, and the terminal depolarizations might be interpreted as epsilon waves in leads V1–V5 [Figure 1a arrows]. Transthoracic echocardiography...

BACKGROUND Double outlet right ventricle (DORV), a clinically significant congenital heart defect, occurs in 1-3% of individuals with congenital heart defects. In contrast to other major congenital heart defects, there are no systematic or comprehensive data regarding associations, aetiologies, and pathogenesis of DORV. We analysed reported cases in the medical literature to address these issue...

A 27 years old female was admitted to our hospital with complaints of swelling of feet and abdomen, pain abdomen and exertional dyspnea from last 1 week. On examination she was found to have congestive heart failure. Chest x-ray revealed mild cardiomegaly with left pleural effusion and electrocardiography showed right axis deviation with right ventricular hypertrophy. By echocardiography she wa...

The entity of double outlet right ventricle is being increasingly recognized in recent years (Neufeld, DuShane, and Edwards, 1961a; Neufeld et al., 1961b, 1962; Morgan et al., 1962; Mehrizi, 1965; Venables and Campbell, 1966). The oldest patient in the series reported by Mehrizi (1965) was 22 years and in the 10 patients of Venables and Campbell (1966) the oldest was 9 years. We report a patien...
