|November 1, 1985
Summary
Left ventricular strings, previously observed in heart chambers, may contain conductive tissue. This finding suggests a potential cause for left bundle branch block or hemiblock if these strings stretch or rupture.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Pathology
- Electrophysiology
Background:
- Strings within heart chambers have been documented through autopsy and echocardiography.
- Previous echocardiographic findings prompted further investigation into the composition of these cardiac strings.
