Table 1
Echocardiographic criteria for diagnosis of IVNC.
(i) Presence of multiple echocardiographic trabeculations, particularly in the apex and free wall of the left ventricle
(ii) Multiple deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with the ventricular cavity, as demonstrated by colour Doppler imaging
(iii) A twos layered structure of the endomyocardium with a ratio of end-systolic non-compacted endocardial layer to compacted epicardial layer of 2.0 in adults and 1.4 in children
(iv) Absence of other congenital or acquired heart disease, particularly those causing left ventricular outflow obstruction
