Key result
Prenatal echocardiography identified isolated non-compaction of the myocardium, predominantly in the right ventricle with systolic dysfunction, in 4 fetuses (3 died with cardiac failure, 1 survived).
Population

Alerts to high fetal mortality in isolated RV non-compaction; hypothesis-generating for prenatal diagnosis and outcomes.
Case Report (n=4)
This case series demonstrates that isolated non-compaction of the myocardium can be diagnosed prenatally via fetal echocardiography, presenting primarily in the right ventricle with systolic dysfunction and high mortality.
Moura et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Isolated non-compaction of the myocardium (n=4). Prenatal diagnosis via fetal echocardiography was evaluated on Diagnosis and clinical outcomes. Prenatal echocardiography identified isolated non-compaction of the myocardium, predominantly in the right ventricle with systolic dysfunction, in 4 fetuses (3 died with cardiac failure, 1 survived).
