Right Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy in Children: Brief Review Literature
Right ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (RVNC) is a genetic heterogeneous cardiomyopathy. Despite the increasing number of RVNC cases, the classification and natural history of this disorder are not completely clear. Also, because the pathogenic non-compaction cannot be easily differentiated from normal trabeculations, it is usually hard to accurately measure the prevalence of RV ...
متن کاملInsights from magnetic resonance imaging of left ventricular non-compaction in adults of North African descent
BACKGROUND Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a recently recognized rare disorder. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may help to clarify the uncertainties related to this genetic cardiomyopathy. Despite the fact that many articles have been published concerning the use of MRI in the study of LVNC, there is a lack of data describing the disease in the North African population. The aim of o...
متن کاملBiventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy.
Left ventricular non-compaction (spongy myocardium) is one of the most misclassified cardiomyopathies. It is characterised by an excessively prominent trabecular meshwork of myocardium and deep intertrabecular myocardium due to an arrest in the compaction process of the myocardial fibres. It could be isolated i.e. without any other structural heart defects or associated with congenital heart de...
متن کاملVentricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy.
Non-compaction of the left ventricle is an extremely rare cardiomyopathy resulting from a defective morphogenesis of the endomyocardium. It results in an architecturally aberrant ventricular wall consisting of two layers: a compacted layer and a loose interwoven meshwork with prominent trabeculae and deep intertrabecular recesses that communicate with the left ventricular cavity. This report de...
متن کاملIsolated non-compaction cardiomyopathy.
BACKGROUND Isolated non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) was first described in 1984. This disorder, a primary genetic cardiomyopathy, is now attracting increased attention. METHOD The current state of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of NCCM are discussed on the basis of a review of selected literature as well as the auth...
