Two Patients with Coincident Noncompacted Myocardium and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

To our knowledge, left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) commonly occur as separate disorders in different patients; however, LVNC associated with HCM, which is called hypertrophic LVNC, is relatively rare.1) Here we report two sporadic cases of hypertrophic LVNC...

Summary:To our knowledge, left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) commonly occur as separate disorders in different patients; however, LVNC associated with HCM, which is called hypertrophic LVNC, is relatively rare.1) Here we report two sporadic cases of hypertrophic LVNC which were diagnosed by echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
