Left Ventricular Non-Compaction: Mid-myocardial Distribution of Late Gadolinium Enhancement in Compacted Segments

Gadolinium Enhancement
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) with Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is a proven method for detecting myocardial fibrosis. Previous CMR studies described the distribution of LGE in patients with LVNC.

however, it still remains unclear. The purpose of the study was to describe the distribution of LGE in patients meeting cardiovascular magnetic resonance criteria for Left Ventricular Non-Compaction (LVNC).

We retrospectively enrolled 15 patients adult patients (11 males and 4 females; mean age, 42 ± 13 years) considered to meet standard CMR criteria for LVNC.
