Abstract

Shunt malformations caused by a prior cardiac gunshot accident are a very rare cause for late deterioration of ventricular function. This case describes the long-term echocardiographic findings in a patient with a cardiac gunshot at age 13, presenting with progressive signs of congestive heart failure 25 years later.
