Long-Term Prognosis of Different Subtypes of Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy Patients: A Retrospective Study in China.

ABSTRACT: Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a heterogeneous cardiomyopathy that can be classified into different subtypes based on morphologic and functional features. However, the prognosis of the dilated and isolated subtypes of non-pediatric LVNC remains unknown. We retrospectively studied 101 patients with LVNC diagnosed at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2006 to 2022 using the Jenni criteria of transthoracic echocardiography. The patients were grouped into those with dilated LVNC (n = 64) or isolated LVNC (n = 37), and 88 patients (54 with dilated LVNC and 34 with isolated LVNC) were followed up successfully. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (a composite of cardiovascular mortality, heart failure, severe ventricular arrhythmia, and syst
