Key result
Multiple echocardiographic modalities serve as a pivotal first-line diagnostic tool for identifying and imaging left ventricular noncompaction myocardium.
Demonstrates the utility of varying echocardiographic modalities in the imaging of noncompaction myocardium.
Noncompaction myocardium of the left ventricle (LV) is a genetically heterogeneous congenital cardiomyopathy, that has only been described during the last two decades. Echocardiography plays a pivotal role as a first line diagnostic tool of this rare abnormality. The present case describes the imaging of the noncompacted myocardium using varying echocardiographic modalities.
