Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted at the University of Padua in Italy has provided new information about cardiomyopathies, specifically left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy. The study found that a thinned compact layer of midventricular segments of the left ventricular free wall was associated with reduced systolic function and isolated LVNC cardiomyopathy. The researchers compared cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) morpho-functional features and measurements of left ventricular wall thickness in patients with LVNC and preserved systolic function versus those with LVNC and reduced systolic function. The findings suggest that the thickness of the compact myocardial layer may be a useful indicator of systolic dysfunction in patients with LVNC. [Extracted from the article]
