M. Singh et al., Clinical, echocardiographic, and angiographic profile of patients with double-chambered right ventricle: Experience with 48 cases, ANGIOLOGY, 50(3), 1999, pp. 223-231
Forty-eight patients with double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) were pros
pectively studied over a 3-year period. Clinical, echocardiographic, hemody
namic, and angiographic studies were done in all. Three patients were studi
ed postoperatively also. Fifteen patients underwent surgery confirming the
diagnosis. Echocardiography detected anomalous muscle bundles (AMBs) in 39/
41 patients in whom this study was carried out. Angiographically AMBs were
best demonstrated in anteroposterior views in a systolic frame. Common asso
ciated anomalies found with DCRV were ventricular septal defects (69%), pul
monary valve stenosis (38%), and double-outlet right ventricle (10%).
