More Information
Summary:Ventricular myocardium noncompaction is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy resulting from an arrest in normal endomyocardial embryogenesis. Initially the noncompaction of the left ventricle was described in the pediatrics population with poor prognosis, but recent reports have noticed the presence of this pathology in the adult population. We describe a 54-year-old man with isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle who had ischemic heart disease and was successfully treated with bypass surgery.
