[Incidental findings in cardiology. Diagnosing today what can cause illness tomorrow].

Among the anatomical and functional findings in cardiology, congenitally corrected transposition of the major vessels (ventricular inversion), bicuspid aortic valve and prolapse of the mitral valve with simultaneous mitral insufficiency have at least a potential for causing future problems. In such cases, regular cardiological checks or a further diagnostic work-up is to be recommended. The assessment of cardiac sounds can usually be correctly interpreted on the basis of the history, physical examination and auscultation. Among the electrocardiological findings, complete left bundle-branch block and prolongation of the QT segment, mandate clarification of a structural heart condition. Furthermore, in the event of ventricular extrasystoles, right-ventricular cardiomyopathy needs to be excluded. Such isolated conduction disorders as left-anterior fascicular block or right bundle-branch block are of no prognostic significance.
