Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy

Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium has often been misdiagnosed as other cardiomyopathies because it is a relatively recently described cardiomyopathy with literature limited to case reports and case series and little awareness among physicians. We are reporting a case of isolated left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy that was misdiagnosed for over two decades.

Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy

AbstractNoncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), in their isolated form, are rare cardiomyopathies. They are characterized by a thickened myocardium due to the presence of deep trabeculae recesses, and to thick trabeculae. This condition is associated with a variable clinical phenotype including heart failure, thromboembolism, and sudden death. We report a case of LVNC at 26 weeks and 4 days of gestation revised on the basis of what is currently reported in the literature. A review of the literature was performed to better describe this rare condition. Left ventricular noncompaction is a rare fetal condition and it should be suspected in case of cardiomyopathy.

High Prevalence

This article presents the results of studies on high prevalence of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) in patients with secondary hemochromatosis (SH). We also included case reports of patients with SH and LVNC and compared imaging data using modified modern criteria for LVNC and molecular genetic testing (MGT). In  patients with cardiac hemochromatosis, left ventricular noncompaction is noted, the nature of which is most likely secondary. In order to confirm this hypothesis, a prospective observational study, including family screening and MGT, is required.
