Key result
Isolated LVNC shows homogeneous transmural and heterogeneous segmental perfusion on contrast echo and MRI.
Why the study?
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy with myocardial perfusion characteristics has not been previously described using contrast echocardiography compared with magnetic resonance imaging.

May prompt isolated LV noncompaction consideration in progressive HF; leaves open contrast echo perfusion role versus MRI.
This case report describes the use of contrast echocardiography compared to MRI for analyzing myocardial perfusion in a patient with isolated left ventricular non-compaction.
Adrian C. Borges (2003) studied this question. Isolated left ventricular non-compaction demonstrates homogeneous transmural and heterogeneous segmental myocardial perfusion on contrast echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging.
