Hypothesis-generating for CMR in LVNC; prospective validation needed before routine adoption.
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy characterized by deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with the main ventricular chamber. Cardiac magnetic resonance offers high spatial resolution, and thereby substantial aptitude for the diagnosis of LVNC. Additional clinically relevant information, including thrombus and myocardial fibrosis evaluation, can be readily acquired. These images demonstrate classical LVNC morphology in conjunction with its potential sequelae.

Bertaso et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Cardiac magnetic resonance was evaluated on Diagnosis of LVNC, thrombus, and myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance provided high spatial resolution for the diagnosis of left ventricular noncompaction, including evaluation of thrombus and myocardial fibrosis.
