Left Ventricular Noncompaction : A Distinct Genetic Cardiomyopathy?

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The prevalence of LVNC in healthy athletes, its possible reversibility, and increasing diagnosis in healthy subjects suggests cautious use of the term LVNC cardiomyopathy, which describes the morphology but not the functional profile of the cardiopathy.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of left ventricular non-compaction in adults.

TL;DR: Left ventricular non-compaction in adult populations is a poorly defined entity which likely encompasses both physiological adaptation and pathological disease and there is significant potential for overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and unnecessary follow-up.

Left ventricular non-compaction - Insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

TL;DR: In this article, 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 was evaluated.
