Non-compaction of the left ventricle and associated ventricular septal defect.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case report of a 28-year-old patient, who presented with symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure and had clinical signs of ventricular septal defect as well. On further work-up echocardiogram showed non-compaction of the left ventricle with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction and a ventricular septal defect. He was treated with standard treatment of heart failure and is doing well.

[Left ventricular non-compaction in an infant with congenital heart defect].
Non-compaction of the left ventricle (NCLV) was categorised as unclassified cardiomyopathy by the World Health Organization in 1995. Over the last decade this condition has been identified as a distinct form of cardiomyopathy and a genetically heterogeneous disorder. Clinically, this may be coupled with the loss of contractility, arrhythmia, and thromboembolism. The prognosis in a symptomatic p...
متن کاملHolt-Oram Syndrome: A Rare Variant
Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...
متن کاملLeft ventricle non-compaction cardiomyopathy: different clinical scenarios and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Left ventricle non-compaction cardiomyopathy is currently considered as a well-defined individual entity. However, it includes a broad spectrum of clinical, radiological and pathophysiological findings. In this review we describe 3 different scenarios of this entity: an isolated case with severe left ventricle dysfunction, an "associated" case in a patient with previous atrial septum defect and...
متن کاملAortic valve atresia with a normally developed left ventricle.
Aortic valve atresia is usually associated with hypoplasia of the left ventricle and mitral valve. We report a patient presenting aortic atresia with ventricular septal defect and a normally sized left ventricle. The electrocardiogram showed left axis deviation and left ventricular hypertrophy. The ventricular septal defect probably favored a normal growth of the left ventricle, allowing it to ...
متن کاملCongenital diverticulum of the left ventricle associated with hypoplastic right ventricle and ventricular septal defect.
A case of congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle associated with a ventricular septal defect and severe hypoplasia of the right ventricle without tricuspid or pulmonary atresia is described and the relevant literature is reviewed. The distinction between true muscular diverticulae and congenital apical aneurysms is made, the latter term being preferred for similar abnormalities described...
