1. To review the development, location, function and multimodality imaging appearance of normal intracardiac anatomic variants.
2. To discuss the main imaging differences between normal intracardiac anatomical variants and pathology
The following outline will be done for each of the following intracardiac normal anatomical variants:
Chiari network
Eustachian Valve
Crista terminalis
Right ventricular prominent trabeculations.
Moderator band
False tendon in the LV
Atypical papillary muscles
Atrial septal aneurysm
Lipomatous hypertrophy of the atrial septum
Lambl’s excresence
Embryological development and function.
Multimodality images and cine clips, including echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
Table/Summary.
Conclusion and References.
