Double-chambered left ventricle (DCLV) is a particularly rare congenital cardiovascular malformation that is difficult to diagnose. It is characterized by the subdivision of the left ventricle into two chambers by an abnormal septum or muscle band. Here, we report 12 patients with DCLV. Differential diagnoses of DCLV include four other cardiac diseases, diverticulum, aneurysm, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and left ventricular noncompaction. Echocardiography plays an important role in the diagnosis of this rare condition and in differentiating it from other diseases.
