| Popis: | Left ventricular false tendons are cord like structures that traverse the left ventricular cavity. They are found in approximately half of the human hearts examined at autopsy and have no clinical or prognostic significance. They have been well described and usually pose no diagnostic dilemma. We present the first case of a partially ruptured false tendon mimicking mural vegetation in an 80-year-old male with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Escherichia coli bacteremia. |
