Population
482 patients undergoing dual source computed tomography cardiac angiography (DS CTCA)
Design
Cohort
Key result
Left ventricular diverticuli were incidentally found in 4.1% of patients undergoing dual-source cardiac CT angiography, suggesting they are a fairly common benign finding.

What is the prevalence of left ventricular diverticulum on dual source cardiac CT?
Left ventricular diverticuli are a fairly common incidental finding (4.1%) on dual source cardiac CT and appear to follow a benign course in adulthood.
Bruecker et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Patients undergoing cardiac CT angiography (n=482). Dual source computed tomography cardiac angiography was evaluated on Prevalence of left ventricular diverticuli. Left ventricular diverticuli were incidentally found in 4.1% of patients undergoing dual-source cardiac CT angiography, suggesting they are a fairly common benign finding.
