Congenital ventricular diverticula: which type of diagnostic tool is sufficient for diagnosis?

Abstract:

:Ventricular diverticula are rarely seen congenital malformations. For diagnosis, various imaging tools either invasive or non-invasive have been used. However, gold-standard imaging modality is controversial although echocardiography has been the initial choice of diagnostic tool.
