A male with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension caused by isolated noncompaction of ventricular myocardium

Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium （NVM） is a rare disease of endomyocardialmorphogenesis characterized by numerous, prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. It is commonly associated with congenital heart disease. Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium （INV...

More Information
Summary:Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium （NVM） is a rare disease of endomyocardialmorphogenesis characterized by numerous, prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. It is commonly associated with congenital heart disease. Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium （INVM） is thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardimn. A significant amount of data on INVM are available for the left ventricle but right ventricular involvement is rare.
