Abstract
In a 33 yr old woman the diagnosis of isolated persistent myocardial sinusoids was established by 2-D [2-dimensional]-echocardiography and ventriculography. This anomaly was reported in infants with atresia of semilunar valves and intact ventricular septum, or in combination with anomalies of the coronary vessels. In adults myocardial sinuoids were only observed with a communication to the coronary arteries. No other case of severe cardiac disease due to isolated myocardial sinusoids has apparently been published.
