Key result
Isolated non-compacted left ventricle is increasingly recognized as a distinct congenital cardiomyopathy, with echocardiography and MRI serving as key diagnostic modalities.
Echocardiography and MRI are essential tools for diagnosing and planning the management of isolated non-compacted left ventricle, a rare congenital cardiomyopathy.
Supports recognition of isolated LVNC; leaves open prospective validation of diagnostic criteria.
Since the last two decades isolated non compacted LV is recognized as a distinct congenital cardiomypathy produced due to arrest in the embryogenesis and condensation of normal adult myocardium. Course of the disease is malignant and definitive treatment is still not available. Cases are now more and more sporadically recognized due to availability of definitive echocardiographic diagnostic criteria from different parts of India and other countries. MRI too has superiority for the diagnostic identification of the disease and is also helpful for planning management.
