Isolated noncompaction of the myocardium.
Noncompaction of the myocardium (NCM) is a rare congenital heart defect. It was first described 15 years ago, and few cases are published. The purpose of this study is to describe a NCM case. Clinical findings and imaging test results of a 37-year-old female patient with isolated NCM are presented. The patient complained of palpitations; her physical examination revealed extrasystoles, and her ...

To the Editor: McCrohon and colleagues1 present a case of isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) diagnosed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. They suggest that MR may improve the detection rates of IVNC as, in their case, the diagnosis would have been missed if only echocardiography had been used. Cardiac ultrasound, previously performed in their case, had shown no significant abnormalities...
متن کاملIsolated Noncompaction of Left Ventricular Myocardium
Isolated noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium is a rare disorder of endomyocardial morphogenesis characterized by numerous, excessively prominent ventricular trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. This study comprised eight cases, including three at necropsy. Ages ranged from 11 months to 22.5 years, with follow-up as long as 5 years. Gross morphological severity ranged from ...

solated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC), also known as spongy ventricular myocardium, is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by numerous ventricular trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses, thought to be due to an arrest in cardiac embryogenesis. The clinical spectrum varies from asymptomatic patients to cardiac failure with neonatal death. Prenatal diagnosis has been reported sporadi...

Case Presentation: A 42-yearold woman was referred to the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Clinic. A diagnosis of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy had been given 16 years earlier on the basis of echocardiographic findings. Left ventricular systolic function was reportedly at the lower limit of normal 5 years earlier. The patient gave a 6-month history of mild dyspnea occurring during exertion. Alt...
