Left ventricular false tendons in children: Prevalence as detected by 2-dimensional echocardiography and clinical significance

摘要: Abstract During a 28-month period, consecutive 2-dimensional echocardiograms were reviewed to determine the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) false tendons, their associated anomalies and clinical significance. LV tendons found in 31 (0.8%) 3,847 echocardiograms. Of 30 passed longitudinally from papillary muscle septum 1 went free wall wall. The patients aged day 15 years. Associated heart disease, most often septal defect, bicuspid aortic valve coarctation aorta, was present 48%, whom 73% girls. those without 69% boys.
