Why the study?
Left ventricular non-compaction is a rare form of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with an unclear true prevalence, presenting with varied clinical manifestations and diagnostic imaging challenges.
Highlights the varied clinical presentations and imaging diagnostic criteria for left ventricular non-compaction, a rare cardiomyopathy.
Varied LVNC presentations warrant diagnostic vigilance; extends sparse case data but leaves criteria standardization open.
Left ventricular non-compaction is an overall rare form of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The true prevalence of left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is unclear, but it has been reported in 0.014–0.05% of adults and even less in paediatric population [1]. We present the case series of the patients who presented with varied clinical presentation and diagnosed to have left ventricular non-compaction on imaging. We have reviewed the literature regarding diagnostic imaging criteria and imaging pitfalls of this condition.
