چکیده

The Editors of Circulation are pleased to announce that our effort to provide even more rapid access to all original scientific articles that have been accepted for publication in Circulation began with our first issue of the new year. All original clinical and basic manuscripts, once accepted, will be published Online five to nine working days after galley proofs are returned from the author to Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. Rapid Access Publication will enable individual and institutional subscribers to log on to the Circulation web site, www.circ.ahajournals.org, and access the pdf file of a group of manuscripts that was accepted just days earlier. These same manuscripts will be published in the print journal within 4 to 5 weeks. Editorials and review articles are not included in Rapid Access Publication. This new opportunity for rapid publication of accepted manuscripts allows Circulation to make important information available to its readers in an even more timely fashion.

Isolated left ventricular noncompaction in children: two cases with different manifestations.

Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is an uncommon disorder characterized by an excessively prominent trabecular meshwork seen in the early period of embryogenesis. The clinical presentation of noncompaction includes a high prevalence of heart failure, thromboembolic events and arrhythmias. Echocardiography is the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of noncompaction. We repor...

Isolated Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy Presenting as Recurrent Syncope

Isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) occurs because of interruption of trabecular morphogenesis in the myocardium leading to ventricular noncompaction. Patients present with heart failure or with systemic complications secondary to thromboembolism or arrhythmias. High index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis. We present a case of 48-year-old male with unexplained recurrent synco...

Prenatal diagnosis of isolated ventricular noncompaction of the myocardium.

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...

Isolated noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium. A study of eight cases.

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 ...

Isolated noncompaction of the myocardium.

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...
