Echocardiogram revealed global hypokinesis, with an ejection fraction (EF) of 10%, and severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation; prominent trabeculations with two distinct myocardial zones (Figs. 1a-c, 2a and b); and a non-compacted to compacted myocardium ratio of 2:1 (Fig. 1b) These findings of non-compaction cardiomyopathy were confirmed with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Fig. 3).
(a and b) Apical 2 chamber view revealing prominent myocardial trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with the left ventricular cavity.
