Muscular false tendons, aberrant left ventricular papillary musculature, and severe electrocardiographic repolarisation abnormalities: a new syndrome.

Sutton, M. G.

RESUMO

Three patients (age 18-39 years; two men) with normal exercise capacity, normal left ventricular function, large muscular false tendons within the left ventricle, and anomalously placed papillary muscles associated with giant T wave inversion on the electrocardiogram are described. The absence of adverse cardiovascular events at long-term follow up (mean 13 years) indicates that this is a benign unrecognised syndrome.
