[Isolated non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium].
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium, also known as "spongy myocardium", is a rare congenital abnormality resulting from an arrest in the normal endomyocardial embryogenesis. The echocardiographic findings consist of multiple, prominent myocardial trabeculations and deep intratrabecular recesses in communication with the left ventricular cavity. This entity is a not well known cause of d...
متن کاملLeft ventricular hypertrophy: is it really?
Background Patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), typically assessed by 2D echocardiography, are at a greater risk for heart failure and sudden cardiac death. An accurate diagnosis of LVH is essential to clinical evaluation and treatment. However, 2D echo has inferior spatial resolution and less than optimal measurement positioning, relative to cardiac MRI. This “real-world” study, b...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Non-Compaction
OBJECTIVES We aimed to test the diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in distinguishing pathological left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) from lesser degrees of trabecular layering seen in healthy volunteers and, in those with cardiomyopathies and concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, potential differential diagnoses. We hypothesized that pathological trabe...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013203430 DESCRIPTION In April 2011, a 13-month-old girl presented with dyspnoea, tachycardia and weight loss. Echocardiographic examination revealed a left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), or spongy myocardium characterised by spongiform appearance of the left ventricle with deep recesses, a d...
متن کاملElectrophysiological findings in patients with isolated left ventricular non-compaction.
AIMS Patients with isolated left ventricular non-compaction (IVNC) are at high risk for developing ventricular tachyarrhythmias. However, no analysis of invasive electrophysiological (EP) findings in these patients has yet been performed. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a retrospective analysis of EP findings in 24 patients with IVNC. Ventricular tachyarrhythmias were inducible in nine patie...
