May increase ventricular diverticula detection on gated MDCTA; leaves open clinical relevance pending prospective validation.
Cross-Sectional (n=324)
The incidence of ventricular diverticula detected on 256-slice MDCTA is 3.4%, which is higher than previously reported, with most located in the mid-inferoseptal or mid-anteroseptal walls.
Nakazono et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiac ventricular diverticulum (n=324). Electrocardiogram-gated 256-slice multidetector computed tomography angiography (MDCTA) was evaluated on Incidence of ventricular diverticula. Electrocardiogram-gated 256-slice MDCTA detected left and right ventricular diverticula in 3.4% and 0.6% of patients, respectively, indicating a higher incidence than previously reported.
