Measurement of trabeculated left ventricular mass using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of left ventricular non-compaction.
AIMS To describe a method for measuring trabeculated left ventricular (LV) mass using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and to assess its value in the diagnosis of left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 2003 and 2008, we prospectively included 16 patients with LVNC. During the mean period, we included 16 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), 16 pati...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Non-Compaction
OBJECTIVES We aimed to test the diagnostic accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in distinguishing pathological left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) from lesser degrees of trabecular layering seen in healthy volunteers and, in those with cardiomyopathies and concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, potential differential diagnoses. We hypothesized that pathological trabe...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013203430 DESCRIPTION In April 2011, a 13-month-old girl presented with dyspnoea, tachycardia and weight loss. Echocardiographic examination revealed a left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), or spongy myocardium characterised by spongiform appearance of the left ventricle with deep recesses, a d...
متن کامل[Isolated non-compaction of left ventricular myocardium].
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium, also known as "spongy myocardium", is a rare congenital abnormality resulting from an arrest in the normal endomyocardial embryogenesis. The echocardiographic findings consist of multiple, prominent myocardial trabeculations and deep intratrabecular recesses in communication with the left ventricular cavity. This entity is a not well known cause of d...
متن کاملechocardiographic assessment of inappropriate left ventricular mass and left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with diastolic dysfunction
background: early diagnosis of left ventricular mass (lvm) inappropriateness and left ventricular hypertrophy (lvh) can result in preventing diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and its related morbidity and mortality. this study was performed to determine if diastolic dysfunction is associated with lvh and inappropriate lvm. methods: one hundred and twenty five uncomplicated hypertensi...
