Left ventricular function assessment including or excluding trabeculations in left ventricular non-compaction, a preliminary case-control cardiac magnetic resonance study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Functional assessment of compact myocardium and hypertrabeculations in left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is underestimated with regards to the morphological spectrum of disease. We aimed to assess whether measuring concurrently left ventricular (LV) volume, mass and ejection fraction (LVEF) with and without trabeculation inclusion on cine magnetic resonance (cineMR) could help diagnose patients with LVNC by comparison to normal individuals with an excess of myocardial trabeculations.

Methods

This retrospective single center magnetic resonance imaging study (Bichat University Hospital) of 67 consecutive patients with echocardiographic hypertrabeculations seen at echocardiography between March 2011 and October 2018 included 30 patients with known LVNC and 16 co
