Key result
Biventricular hypertrabeculation presents as de novo CHF and arrhythmia in a 54-year-old woman.
Why the study?
Ventricular noncompaction or hypertrabeculation is a rare and unclassified cardiomyopathy mostly affecting the left ventricle, with limited data on biventricular involvement in low-income settings.
Highlights a rare presentation of biventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction associated with heart failure and arrhythmia in a low-income setting.
Biventricular hypertrabeculation with de novo HF and arrhythmia poses management challenges in low-income settings; case reports leave open questions for larger studies.
Ventricular noncompaction or hypertrabeculation is rare and unclassified cardiomyopathy that mostly affects the left ventricle. We report the case of biventricular hypertrabeculation in a 54-year-old woman who presented with congestive heart failure de novo associated with arrhythmia in a low-income setting. We also discussed the therapeutic challenges.
