| Popis: | Noncompaction is a rare, primary genetic cardiomyopathy affecting the left ventricle. The diagnosis is usually established by echocardiography, and less frequently by left ventriculography. Cardiac magnetic resonance and electrocardiography-gated multidetector computed tomography are evolving noninvasive modalities to image cardiac structures, and their utility to detect noncompacted myocardium was reported in a few cases. We report the case of a young patient with premature coronary artery disease and apical noncompaction detected by multidetector computed tomography, and show images of the ventricular pathology on 4 different imaging modalities. |
