(III-5A.1.o) 27-year-old patient with Left Ventricular Noncompaction and impaired systolic function Jakub Stępniewski MD, Paweł Prochownik, Grzegorz Kopeć MD, PhD

  BRIEF COMMENTS EXPERT: Lidia Tomkiewicz-Pająk MD, PhD Afiliacja: Department of Cardiac and Vascular Diseases, John Paul II Hospital, Krakow, Poland COMMENT Due to good exercise tolerance, physical abstinence from alcohol and increased cardiac monitoring of the patient during the current pharmacotherapy with psychological support is proposed. Due to the history and characteristics of alcoholic liver damage ASA as the prevention of thromboembolic complications is preferred. Furthermore, in case of heart transplant indications alcoholism is disqualifying factor from this operation, …

Keywords: cardiomyopathy, initial acute coronary syndrome, Noncompaction Cardiomiopathy Background Isolated noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a rarely occurring, congenital anomaly that belongs to the group of cardiomyopathies. The incidence of this pathology in the general population is estimated at 0.014-1.3%. It is characterized by the presence of numerous trabeculae on the myocardial wall of both ventricles and deep intertrabecular recesses resulting in thickened myocardium. Case presentation We present an accidentally discovered isolated left ventricular noncompaction in the 46-year-old patient with the preliminary …

(III-5A.1.o) Isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle in a young athlete Karch I., Tomkiewicz-Pająk L., Podolec M., Nowacka M., Rubiś P.
Experts: Szydłowski L., Kordon Z., Mizia-Stec K., Podolec P., Kopeć G.

Background Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare form of cardiomyopathy due to abnormal morphogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium that occurs between 5-th and 8-th week of fetal life. It is characterized by prominent myocardial trabeculations accompanied by deep intertrabecular recesses which lie in continuity with the left ventricular cavity. Given the increased risk of sudden cardiac death associated with LVNC, athletes with this diagnosis should be excluded from most competitive sports. We report previously non diagnosed LVNC in …
