Abstract
Double-chambered left ventricle is a rare congenital disorder in which the left ventricular cavity is subdivided into two cavities by an anomalous septum or muscle band. We describe a case of double-chambered left ventricle, most likely caused by the presence of excessive left ventricular bands, in an asymptomatic cat.
