“…The low prevalence of LVNC indicated between 0.02% to 0.26% in adults [ 19 – 21 ] may have contributed to the fact that so far only case reports [ 22 – 24 ] and two original articles with 8 and 10 LVNC patients, respectively, have investigated the accuracy of CCT in patients with this cardiomyopathy [ 4 , 5 ]. In the present study, we have prospectively enrolled a cohort of 36 individuals including 17 patients with previously diagnosed LVNC.…”

“…Coronary CTA provides excellent spatial and contract resolution to assess morphology of LV myocardium as well as provides additional information about coronary arteries and intrathoracic vasculature. Coronary CTA might be useful in cases where CMR imaging is contradicted or poor echocardiography image quality has been obtained [63].…”

Left ventricular non-compaction is a form of cardiomyopathy defined by a spongy left ventricular myocardium. Despite the condition being the leading reason for referral for patients with depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, current classification systems categorize it as an unclassified cardiomyopathy. The lack of recognition as a distinct form of cardiomyopathy has undermined research and expert consensus on diagnosis and specific clinical management guidelines. In addition, current research on epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical management are small scale-studies with inconsistent findings. The purpose of the present review is to combine research findings on pathogenesis, prognosis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis and clinical management methods. The intention is to advance knowledge and understanding of the clinical status and management of left ventricular non-compaction.

“…Utilization of CCT in the diagnosis of NCCM has been less popular despite the few cases published in the literature . The role of CCT for simultaneous imaging of coronary arteries, computing LV and RV volumes and masses, and assessing both global and regional function has been well described given its superior temporal and spatial resolution.…”

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy: The role of advanced multimodality imaging techniques in diagnosis and assessment

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a unique cardiomyopathy with a diverse array of genotypic and phenotypic manifestations. Its hallmark morphology consists of a bilayered myocardium with a compact epicardial layer and prominent trabeculations that comprise the noncompacted endocardial layer. The controversial diagnostic criteria for NCCM have been frequently discussed in the literature. This review touches on those diagnostic criteria, delves further into the evolving use of advanced imaging techniques within the major imaging modalities (echocardiography, computed tomography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging), and proposes an alternative algorithm incorporating these techniques for aiding with the diagnosis of NCCM.
