Patients with isolated congenital left ventricular aneurysm or diverticulum have a high prevalence (58.1%) of coronary anomalies, though these do not appear to worsen clinical outcomes over a 4.2-year follow-up.
Ohlow et al. (2011) conducted a case-control in Isolated congenital left ventricular aneurysm or diverticulum (n=234). Isolated congenital left ventricular aneurysm or diverticulum vs. Age- and sex-matched controls without LVA or LVD was evaluated on Prevalence of coronary anomalies (p=<0.001). Isolated congenital left ventricular aneurysm or diverticulum was associated with a significantly higher prevalence of coronary anomalies compared to matched controls (58.1% vs 6.8%, P<0.001).
