Cardiol Young. 2023 May;33(5):810-812. doi: 10.1017/S1047951122002773. Epub 2022 Oct 11.

Abstract

Left ventricular non-compaction is a very rare, still unclassified congenital cardiomyopathy. Nine distinct subtypes of functional and anatomical left ventricular non-compaction have been identified. Studies on the prognosis and mortality of subtypes are ongoing. Our study presented the first restrictive subtype left ventricular non-compaction case with family history and MYH7 gene mutation.

Keywords: Left ventricular non-compaction; MYH7 gene; restrictive cardiomyopathy.
