Abstract
Left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy due to a disorder of myocardial morphogenesis as the result of interruption during embryogenesis of the normal myocardium compaction. However, limited information is available regarding the actual impact of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings in reaching a diagnosis of LVNC in a population of patients(pt) referred to a CMR laboratory.
Highlights
Left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy due to a disorder of myocardial morphogenesis as the result of interruption during embryogenesis of the normal myocardium compaction
Incremental value of cardiac magnetic resonance in the characterization of patients referred for left ventricular non compaction evaluation
Aim of the study was to evaluate the incremental value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) over preliminary clinical/instrumental data in characterizing a group of consecutive pt referred for suspected LVNC
