This case report describes a rare presentation of biventricular noncompaction with predominant right ventricular involvement.
Alerts clinicians to predominant right ventricular noncompaction in young patients; hypothesis-generating and leaves open questions on prevalence and outcomes.
Myocardial noncompaction is an extremely uncommon cardiomyopathy. It can present as an isolated cardiac malformation or in association with other congenital anomalies. The left ventricle is usually affected, but a biventricular involvement rarely occurs. A predominant right ventricular involvement has not been reported. Here, we report an 18-year-old woman with biventricular noncompaction that predominantly involves the right ventricle.
