چکیده

Ventricular non-compaction or spongy myocardium is a rare type of cardiomyopathy resulting from arrested myocardial development during embryogenesis. This rare entity is characterized by excessive prominent trabeculations and deep inter-trabecular recesses in the ventricular wall. The clinical manifestations include heart failure, arrhythmias and cardioembolic events. The usual site of involvement is the left ventricle. Rarely the right ventricle (RV) is affected. Here we report a case of 40 year old male patient presenting with isolated RV non-compaction.

An unusual case of isolated non-compacted right ventricular myocardium.

Isolated ventricular non-compaction is a rare type of cardiomyopathy resulting from arrested myocardial development during embryogenesis. This rare entity can be easily diagnosed by characteristic appearance of prominent myocardial trabeculations and deep inter-trabecular spaces. The clinical manifestations include heart failure signs, ventricular arrhythmias, and cardio-embolic events. Althoug...

Assessment of left and right ventricular trabeculation and non-compacted myocardium in a large selected healthy reference population

Background The differentiation of left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) from physiological trabeculation is still challenging as it may be overdiagnosed by current criteria. Therefore, we sought to investigate the effect of age and gender on both the LV and RV trabeculation in a large group of proven healthy subjects to provide adjusted reference values. Furthermore, we examined the correlatio...

Role of Myocardial Deformation to Improve Assessment of Regional and Global Function in Non-Isolated Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy: New Insights in Cardiac Mechanics

A 55-year-old man with acute congestive heart failure was referred to the echocardiography laboratory for evaluation of a dilated cardiomyopathy with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction and criteria for non-compaction. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a non-compacted apical LV with segmental dysfunction and an inferior myocardial infarction. Coronary angiogram showed a chro...

Non-compacted cardiomyopathy: clinical-echocardiographic study

UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to describe the clinical and echocardiographic findings of ventricular noncompaction in adult patients. Fifty-three patients underwent complete clinical history, electrocardiogram, Holter and transthoracic echocardiogram. Forty patients (75%) were in class I/II of the New York Heart Association, and 13 (25%) in class III/IV. Ventricular and supraventr...

Assessment of right and left ventricular trabeculation in a reference collective: gender and age dependency of myocardial trabeculation

Introduction Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is characterized by a thin, compacted epimyocardial and a thick non-compacted, trabeculated endomyocardial layer. High-resolution cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has been successfully used to distinguish myocardial trabeculation within the LV cavity. Usually, a compact-tonon-compact ratio of 2.3 on MRI is regarded patho...
