Abstract: Background: Left ventricular false tendons (LVFTs) are chord like structures that have the LV cavity and are generally considered to be benign. However, they have been associated with arrythmias, LV hypertrophy and LV dilation in our studies. We hypothesis that LVFTs are associated with LV structure and functional changes assessed by echo cardiography. Method: We prospectively evaluated echo cardio graphic and clinical parameter of 3 patients identified as having LVFTs present with supraventricular tachycardia/ LVH / Mild LV systolic dysfunction.
Keywords: LVFTs, ventricular arrythmias/ LVH/ LV systolic dysfunction
