[Hypoplasia of the left heart ventricle--casuistic contribution to the development of this heart malformation].
The case report describes and compares an univentricular heart of a calf with hypoplasias of left ventricles of two further calves and a newborn moufflon. In all cases there is also stenosis of the aortic arch. The functional effects of the malformations are discussed. The hypothesis is proposed that an univentricular heart may be the extreme variant of hypoplasia of the left heart when there is an additional aortic stenosis.
