Cardiac magnetic resonance features and outcomes of patients with non-compaction cardiomyopathy - A retrospective follow-up from Pakistan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The exact prevalence of left ventricle non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) in south Asians is not known and phenotypic CMR characteristics, clinical features, and outcomes of LVNC remain unknown for the SA population.

Objective

To evaluate clinical characteristics, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging features, and outcomes of patients with left ventricle non-compaction.

Methods

This was a retrospective study of 294 patients undergoing cardiac MRI (CMR) for evaluation of cardiomyopathy from 2011 to 2020. Patients were stratified based on the presence or absence of left ventricle non-compaction (LVNC). Clinical characteristics, CMR features, and outcomes were evaluated.

Results

Out of 294 patients, 18 patients had LVNC, with a prevalence of 6.1%. The m
