[Isolated ventricular diverticulum in asymptomatic male].
Ventricular diverticulum are small outpouchings, in the cardiac wall, which are mostly described as a part of malformation syndromes. This finding is infrequent in asymptomatic patients with no pathology in the thoraco abdominal line. The case we present shows a diverticulum in the cardiac apex in a male patient with no cardiological clinic manifestations and with an abnormal electrocardiogram. At present, magnetic resonance is the best diagnostic test, for this kind of malformation, and is also the most reliable in the follow-up of these patients.
