Noncompaction of the myocardium, Chagas' disease and dysfunction: a case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the association between heart disease associated with noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium (NCLVM) and chronic Chagas' heart disease (CCHD) in a patient with heart failure, ischemic stroke and cardiac arrhythmia. Images typical of NCLVM and CCHD were documented by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI).

Tricuspid aortic stenosis with systolic dysfunction in a 14-year-old boy: Critical stenosis, noncompaction or secondary fibroelastosis?
A bicuspid aortic valve is the most common cause of isolated valvular aortic stenosis in the pediatric age group; another cause is annular hypoplasia, with the tricuspid valve being the least commonly involved. In aortic stenosis, causes of systolic dysfunction are critical stenosis, secondary fibroelastosis and noncompaction. Critical stenosis is diagnosed in the usual fashion. Secondary fibro...

Introduction: Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NccM) is a rare form of cardiomyopathy. the American Heart Association classified it as a genetic cardiomyopathy. the pathogenesis of this condition is attributed to the failure of trabecular myocardium to compact and underdeveloped microcoronary circulation. case report: We present a case of a 72-year-old African American female who presented with sh...

Ventricular noncompaction (VNC) of the myocardium is a rare genetic cardiomyopathy caused by a disorder during endocardial morphogenesis and could be accompanied by life-threatening complications. The major clinical manifestations of VNC are heart failure, arrhythmias, and embolic events. The left ventricle is the most commonly reported affected site, but a few cases of right ventricular involv...
متن کاملFocal Left Atrial Tachycardia in a Patient with Left Ventricular Noncompaction
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare disease caused by intrauterine failure of the myocardium to compact. The major clinical manifestations of LVNC include heart failure, ventricular tachyarrhythmia, thromboembolic event, and sudden deaths. Atrial arrhythmia usually seen is atrial fibrillation. We report a rare case of focal left atrial tachycardia in an 18-year-old patient who prese...
متن کاملICD implantation in left ventricular noncompaction: a case report and review of the literature.
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is an uncommon cardiomyopathy characterized by the persistence of fetal myocardium with a pattern of prominent trabecular meshwork and deep intertrabecular recesses, systolic dysfunction and left ventricular dilatation. It is thought to be caused by the arrest of normal endomyocardial morphogenesis. There is no consensus on the definition, diagnostic criter...
