Abstract

Physical examination is becoming a lost art. We describe a case of a patient who was referred to us with an initial diagnosis of ventricular septal defect. Discordance between imaging findings and the physical examination led to a diagnosis of an accessory left ventricle, a rare but benign congenital cardiac condition. ().
