Double-chamber right ventricle in a 63-year-old woman

Acta Cardiol. 2000 Feb;55(1):39-40. doi: 10.2143/AC.55.1.2005716.

Abstract

Double-chamber right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare congenital heart disease consisting in right ventricular obstruction due to one or several anomalous muscle bundles that divide the right ventricle into two chambers. Because of the rarity of this anomaly in adults, we present the case of a 63-year-old woman suffering from this heart disease, being on the other hand, one of the few cases described in the literature in such an old patient.
