Assessment of congenital left ventricular diverticulum by magnetic resonance imaging: comparison with myocardial perfusion.
We report two cases of left ventricular diverticulum assessed by magnetic resonance (MR) and radionuclide imaging. MR imaging clearly demonstrated the diverticulum in each case, where abnormal perfusion was observed on Tl-201 myocardial SPECT.
