Left Ventricular Non-compaction Cardiomyopathy: The Key to Its Diagnosis and Implications for Management.
Curēus 2023 October
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is a condition with increasing prevalence as cardiac imaging technology improves, although there is currently no diagnostic gold standard. Characterized by the presence of a bilayered myocardium with prominent trabeculations, LVNC cardiomyopathy has a wide range of presentations, from asymptomatic to severe heart failure, thromboembolism, and sudden cardiac death. We present the case of a 62-year-old male who was admitted for a heart failure exacerbation with a worsening ejection fraction and signs of increased trabeculations of the left ventricle on an echocardiogram. We highlight the rarity of this condition, especially when diagnosed via echocardiogram, and the importance of considering anticoagulation as part of the treatment plan.
