Double Jeopardy in the Echocardiography Laboratory: Coexistence of Two Distinct Cardiomyopathies?

Abstract

The significance of these possible concomitant cardiomyopathies is not presently well understood. We did not identify a common derivative when looking for a genetic link, but it is most likely hidden in the genetic substrate, yet to be identified.

Premature ventricular complexes as a first manifestation in left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy: A case report and focused review of the literature

“…Although LVNC could be associated with other cardiomyopathies and congenital cardiac defects [19][20][21][22][23][24] , it also could be found in highly trained athletes, patients with sickle cell anemia and pregnants [25][26][27][28] . However, as we described in our patient, LVNC could be seen in the absence of these anomalies and is referred as isolated LVNC.…”

Left Ventricle Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy Admitted With Multiorgan Failure: A Case Report

“…Its clinical manifestations are highly variable, ranging from no symptoms to disabling congestive HF, life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, and systemic thromboembolism [5,12]. However, there is no gold standard for diagnosis of LVNC; the diagnosis should be suspected based on morphologic criteria for non-compaction or hypertrabeculation in patients with or without cardiac symptoms [13].…”
