Presentation
Acute heart failure.
Patient Data











Extensive trabeculations within the left ventricle and thinning of the underlying compact myocardium. Also, there is left ventricular globular remodeling. No evidence of pathological myocardial contrast enhancement.

The ratio of the non-compaction myocardium to the compacted myocardium is 4.3 (16 mm / 3.7 mm).
This case is presented together with colleagues Anikin A. and Barskiy V.
Case Discussion
This is a case of non-compaction of the left vetricle: thickened trabecular layer with thin compact myocardium. Globular remodeling of the left ventricle is also presented.
Hearth failure is due to impaired ventricular contraction and decreased ejection fraction. The left ventricle is dilated.
