“…His previous TTE had been unremarkable with no evidence to suggest presence of DCLV. But the recent preoperative TTE had features suggestive of DCLV with LVH, thus suggesting a possibility of an acquired DCLV 4 . Cardiac catheterization study and cardiac MRI were also performed, which further confirmed the diagnosis and ruled out presence of any myocardial fibrosis.…”

“…2,3,5 The MLVC and AC chambers are in continuity with each other and can be named as per their relative position to one another and its continuity with mitral valve. 4 DCLV is different from LV aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms such that, in DCLV both the chambers demonstrate contractile motion during systole. Whereas, in LV aneurysm, complete layering of the ventricular wall is absent and thus paradoxically expands during systole.…”

“…The etiology of DCLV is obscure, but literature suggests endocardial fibroelastosis and cardiomyopathy as presumed etiology 2,3 . Iorgoveanu et al 4 stated that defective RAC1 gene results in impaired elongation and cytoskeleton organization in cardiomyocytes, thus resulting in DCLV. It results from an anomalous septum or muscle bundle which divides the left ventricular cavity into two chambers, named as the main left ventricular chamber (MLVC) and accessory chamber (AC) 2,3,5 .…”

Background Double Chambered Left Ventricle is a very rare congenital cardiac condition with limited cases reported in literature, etiology of which is obscure and presentation can be varied. Aim of the study To share our experience of two diverse cases of Double Chambered Left Ventricle at our institute. Results Two diverse cases of Double Chambered Left Ventricle were appropriately diagnosed and successfully managed. One of which one was congenital and the other was acquired Methods Both the patients had an uneventful peri‐operative period. Conclusions Double Chambered Left Ventricle is a condition which remains an enigma. Diagnosis requires a high degree of radiological suspicion for prompt diagnosis and good surgical outcomes.

“…Double-chambered left ventricle, or bifid cardiac apex, is a rare cardiac anomaly in which the left ventricular chamber is divided in 2 by a muscular band or septum, and its true incidence is unknown. 1 It is usually incidentally discovered, and its clinical significance is uncertain. It may be associated with other congenital anomalies.…”
