Abstract
Isolated left ventricular (LV) apical hypoplasia is a rare type of congenital heart disease. It is often asymptomatic in childhood but may lead to complications later on in life. The proposed mechanism is inadequate LV dilatation during development of the primitive ventricle, resulting in a spherical LV. To our knowledge, we describe for the first time a case of isolated LV apical hypoplasia in an asymptomatic patient, diagnosed on investigation of an abnormal 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG).
