Left Ventricular False Tendons: A Morphological Study by Echocardiography
The prevalence of LVFTs is notably higher in males than females and tends to decrease with advancing age and increasing BMI. LVFTs display diverse morphological features and may interact synergistically with certain congenital heart structural abnormalities. LVFTs can easily lead to PVCs in healthy people, but the risk of leading to malignant PVCs does not seem to be high. Correctly recognizing the morphological characteristics of LVFTs helps to distinguish similar ultrasonic images of different diseases, thus avoiding missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses in ultrasound work and clinical practice.
