RESUMO
The double-chambered right ventricle is a rare congenital heart disease caused by hypertrophic anomalous muscle bands that divide the ventricular cavity, resulting in the formation of a high-pressure proximal chamber and other low-pressure distal one. Because of its evolving nature, its diagnosis is usually made during adolescence or adulthood. While pediatricians see patients whose age range is well established, currently pediatric cardiologists attend patients with cardiopathies from the fetal stage to adulthood, because they are more familiar with these malformations. We report a series of cases treated with divided right ventricle in a new public hospital (Congenital heart disease Section) of Buenos Aires province.

El ventrículo derecho bicameral es una rara cardiopatía congénita producida por bandas musculares anómalas hipertróficas que dividen la cavidad ventricular, con formación de unacámara proximal de alta presión y otra distal de baja presión. Debido a su carácter evolutivo, su diagnóstico generalmente se realiza en la adolescencia o adultez. Si bien los pediatras atienden pacientes cuyo intervalo de edad está bien establecido, los cardiólogos pediátricos actualmente asisten a pacientes cardiópatas desde la etapa fetal hastala adultez, debido a que están más familiarizados con estas malformaciones. Presentamos una serie de casos con ventrículo derecho dividido,atendidos en un nuevo hospital público (Sección de Cardiopatías congénitas) en el conurbano bonaerense.
