| Résumé : | False tendons are well recognized structures of the left ventricle. They are fibromuscular strings joining 2 ventricular walls or 2 papillary muscles, distinct from the chordae tendineae, which join papillary muscles to mitral valve leaflets. These structures can be identified using 2-dimensional echocardiography.1 The reported frequency of false tendons in children has varied2,3; that in adults is about 5%.4 False tendons have been suggested as a cause of precordial musical murmur.5 To our knowledge, no causative association with any heart disease has been shown.4,6 We describe a patient with echocardiographic evidence of a chordal structure corresponding to a false tendon associated with a left ventricular (LV) aneurysm. We have encountered 4 other patients with similar abnormalities. © 1985. |
