A rare case of Ebstein's anomaly with left ventricular noncompaction

Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann. 2019 Mar;27(3):208-209. doi: 10.1177/0218492318791421. Epub 2018 Aug 6.

Abstract

Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital cardiac disease characterized by apical displacement of the tricuspid valve with decreased right ventricular function. Left ventricular noncompaction is a cardiomyopathy characterized by the presence of numerous and prominent trabeculations together with deep intertrabecular recesses in a portion of the ventricular wall, principally at the lateral and apical level. We describe the very rare case of a patient living for 78 years with a benign form of Ebstein's anomaly and left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy with slightly reduced systolic function.

Keywords: Cardiomyopathy; Ebstein anomaly; Heart defects; Heart ventricles; Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium; congenital; dilated.
