متن کاملToxoplasmosis or left ventricular hypertrabeculation / non-compaction
Letter to the Editor We read with interest the case report by Dobranici et al. about a 23-year-old female with dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular hypertrabeculation / non-compaction (LVHT) who also suffered from chronic toxoplasmosis [1]. The article raises a number of concerns. Since LVHT develops during life in single cases (acquired LVHT) and since there is uncertainty about the pat...
متن کاملUnsolved issues of left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction.
Unsolved issues of left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction With interest we read the article by Aras et al. on a 78-year old woman with isolated left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction (LVHT) but preserved systolic function. 1 The paper raises the following concerns. What is meant by the term ''isolated''? If ''isolated'' means without any cardiac symptoms or signs or abnorm...
متن کاملSubendocardial Fibrosis in Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation-Cause or Consequence?
Left ventricular noncompaction has been classified as a primary cardiomyopathy with a genetic origin. This condition is morphologically characterized by a thickened, two-layered myocardium with numerous prominent trabeculations and deep, intertrabecular recesses. Recently, it has become clear that these pathological characteristics extend across a continuum with left ventricular hypertrabeculat...
