Cardioverter defibrillator implantation in a patient with double chambered right ventricle.
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare form of congenital heart disease in which the right ventricle is divided into a high-pressure inlet site and a low-pressure outlet site by anomalous muscle bands. We describe a patient with DCRV presenting with ventricular tachycardia.
