Isolated left ventricle diverticula: a possible cause of atypical angina?
A 49-year-old woman with atypical chest pain was referred for a multidetector computed tomography examination of the coronary arteries after a positive electrocardiography stress test. No coronary atherosclerotic disease was observed on the coronary computed tomography scan. The only findings were 2 side-by-side basal left ventricle diverticula, suggested as a possible etiology for her symptoms and electrocardiographic changes. The entity, congenital left ventricle diverticulum, is reviewed.
