May support contrast echo for ventricular diverticulum diagnosis in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Contrast echocardiography with harmonic power Doppler imaging is a useful modality for evaluating intracardiac blood flow and myocardial perfusion to correctly diagnose a congenital ventricular diverticulum.
Ueda et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Left ventricular diverticulum (n=1). Myocardial contrast echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis and evaluation of intracardiac blood flow and myocardial perfusion. Myocardial contrast echocardiography using harmonic power Doppler imaging successfully evaluated intracardiac blood flow and myocardial perfusion, allowing correct diagnosis of a ventricular diverticulum.
