Isolated Ventricular Noncompaction Syndrome in a Nigerian Male: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Figure 2
CMR images. Four chamber and short-axis views through the basal, mid-chamber, and apical segments in end diastole, demonstrating a 2-layered compacted and non-compacted myocardium. This is observed in the free wall of the left ventricle, particularly towards the apex although unusually the true apex is spared-. Differentiation from the papillary muscles (not shown) is made on the basis that this structure did not communicate with the mitral valve on the long axis.
