Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • Anomalous muscle bundles in the right ventricle can create a pressure gradient, leading to double-chambered right ventricle.
  • This condition poses clinical diagnostic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria for double-chambered right ventricle.
  • To analyze the clinical presentation and outcomes of patients diagnosed with this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 52 patients diagnosed with double-chambered right ventricle over an 8-year period.
  • Diagnosis confirmed via cardiac catheterization or surgical findings.
  • Analysis of associated cardiac anomalies, electrocardiogram findings, and hemodynamic data.

Main Results:

  • Fifty-two patients were identified, with diagnosis confirmed in 51 by cardiac catheterization.
  • Common associated anomalies included ventricular septal defect (63%) and pulmonary valve stenosis (40%).
  • Cardiac catheterization revealed pressure gradients of 20-160 mmHg between right ventricular inflow and outflow tracts.

Conclusions:

  • Double-chambered right ventricle diagnosis requires careful evaluation, often aided by cardiac catheterization.
  • Associated cardiac anomalies are frequent and influence management strategies.
  • Surgical or interventional treatment was indicated for a significant portion of the studied patients.
