Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is an uncommon cardiomyopathy characterised by a thick and spongy left ventricle wall caused by the high presence of trabeculae (hyper-trabeculation). Recently, the percentage of the trabecular volume to the total volume of the external wall of the left ventricle (VT%) has been proposed to diagnose this illness.
