Double chambered right ventricle: depiction at three-dimensional whole heart magnetic resonance imaging

Int J Cardiol. 2007 Jun 25;119(1):e14-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2007.01.079. Epub 2007 Apr 17.

Abstract

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. Whole heart magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which depicts 3-dimensional anatomy of the heart and coronary arteries was useful to diagnose DCRV.
