Abstract
|
|
|
|
Isolated right ventricular (RV) hypoplasia is a rare congenital anomaly in which the apical trabecular component of the ventricle fails to develop. In severe forms of isolated RV hypoplasia, patients usually develop cyanosis early in life and require prompt surgical intervention. Mild forms, however, can be asymptomatic until the development of severe tricuspid regurgitation due to annular dilatation. We report a 50-year-old woman with isolated RV apical hypoplasia who presented to our hospital 18 years ago and was followed with serial imaging studies.
