Auxiliary diagnostic potential of ventricle geometry and late gadolinium enhancement in left ventricular non-compaction; non-randomized case control study

Abstract: BackgroundThere are still ambiguities existing in regard to left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) diagnostic imaging. The aim of our study was to analyze diagnostic potential of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and ventricle geometry in patients with LVNC and controls.MethodsData on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) studies for LVNC were reassessed from the hospital’s database (3.75 years; n=1975 exams). Matching sample of controls included cases with no structural heart disease, hypertrophic or dilat… Show more

“…The most common combination of DCM and LVNC was found in 70% of overlapping cases, similar to a previous report [ 26 ]. Although this report found no connections of coexisting trabeculations that fit within NC/C ratio criteria in DCM with clinical points, it only could be partially compared to the present study and our previous study due to using triple criteria of thinning of the compact myocardium, NC/C ratio, and sufficient share of non-compact myocardium in total mass of the left ventricle [ 27 ]. The second most common combination, DCM/HCM, was found in nearly one-third of our overlapping patients, but this combination could be even more powerfully connected with undesirable prognosis due to partially shared gene basics [ 28 , 29 ].…”

“…For the cine imaging analysis, left ventricular structure and function parameters were measured on the short and long axis at the end-diastole and end-systole phases, respectively. The left ventricular geometric parameters included the ratio of noncompacted to compacted myocardium, the maximum/minimum end-diastolic ratio (MaxMin EDDR), LV longitudinal shortening (L-shorten), the two-dimensional sphericity index (2D SI) and the three-dimensional sphericity index (3D SI) 11 13 . The specific method is shown in Fig.…”

“…Other studies proposed a cutoff of 20% of trabecular proportion of the entire LV myocardial mass [ 283 ] or a 35% proportion of non-compacted volume of 35% of the LV volume [ 284 ]. LGE was not found to be a strong diagnostic marker [ 285 ] although a recent meta-analysis found that patients with LVNC but without LGE have a better prognosis than those with LGE. When LGE is negative and global systolic function is preserved, no hard cardiac events are to be expected [ 286 ].…”
