Holt-Oram syndrome presents with left ventricular noncompaction and conduction disease in two families.
Case Report
This report describes the presentation of Holt-Oram syndrome associated with left ventricular noncompaction and conduction disease in two families.
Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) in adults can be found in isolation or in association with a range of structural and arrhythmogenic cardiac phenotypes. LVNC is characterized by noncompaction of the left ventricle with prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. Unlike in severe congenital LVNC, the causes of LVNC in adults remain largely unknown, and treatment and prognosis depend primarily on coexisting pathologies. Recent studies found that up to 43% of healthy individuals fulfill LVNC diagnostic criteria on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI),1 raising the question whether LVNC in adults represents a pathologic process or a normal anatomic variant.

Ross et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Holt-Oram syndrome, left ventricular noncompaction, conduction disease. Holt-Oram syndrome was identified in two families presenting with left ventricular noncompaction and conduction disease.
