Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is an uncommon congenital heart condition characterized by a progressive obstruction in the right ventricular outflow tract. This obstruction is caused by anomalous muscles or fibrous tissues that divide the right ventricle into two cavities: a proximal high-pressure chamber (anatomically lower) and a distal low-pressure chamber (anatomically higher). We present a case of a middle-aged man with a medical history of recurrent symptomatic dyspnea. Upon presentation, there were no signs of congestive cardiac failure. The diagnosis was confirmed using transthoracic two-dimensional (2-D) echocardiography and Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for more precise characterization. The primary objective of this case report is to highlight the rarity of this congenital heart disease, particularly in adults.

“…These defects result from an impaired growth of the trabecular myocardium during the early fetal formation, and the non-uniformity in its position, closer to the tricuspid or pulmonary valve, which causes the ventricle to divide into two parts – a proximal and a distal part. They are frequently associated with ventricular septal defects (80% of cases) 1 , 2 . Even when their impact is minor, these obstructive anomalies should be treated earlier to prevent an unfavorable outcome in relation to the development of myocardial fibrosis, arrhythmias and heart failure.…”
