| Popis: | The pertinent clinical and necropsy features are described in an elderly man who had a loud precordial murmur when he was in severe cardiac decompensation. With restoration of cardiac compensation the precordial murmur disappeared and the heart became smaller. At necropsy, a fibrous cord was found in the left ventricle, stretching from the septum to the free wall. It is suggested that the murmur was the result of this band's being stretched taut when the left ventricular cavity was dilated. When the left ventricular chamber returned to normal size, the anomalous band became lax and the murmur disappeared. Other reports describing anomalous left ventricular bands are briefly reviewed. |
