The genetic etiology and heritability of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) in adults is
unclear. This study sought to assess the value of genetic testing in adults with LVNC. Adults …

The Existing Evidence Traditionally, LVNC has been diagnosed according to criteria applied
to transthoracic echocardiogram results, which focus on the ratio of noncompacted to …

Introduction: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) represents a genetically
heterogeneous cardiomyopathy which occurs in both children and adults. Its genetic …

Background—Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a genetically and phenotypically
heterogeneous disease and, although increasingly recognized in clinical practice, there is a …

Left ventricular non‐compaction (LVNC) is a cardiomyopathy that may be of genetic origin;
however, few data are available about the yield of mutation, the spectrum of genes and …

Background—Left ventricular (LV) noncompaction (LVNC) is a distinct cardiomyopathy
featuring a thickened bilayered LV wall consisting of a thick endocardial layer with …

Background—Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) can occur in isolation or can co-occur
with a cardiomyopathy phenotype or cardiovascular malformation. The yield of …

Background: Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is the third most common pediatric
cardiomyopathy characterized by a thinned myocardium and prominent trabeculations. Next …

Background Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) has since been classified as a primary
genetic cardiomyopathy, but the genetic basis is not fully evaluated. The aim of the present …
