Overview
On echocardiography there is ventricular hypertrophy with deep recesses which tend to be located apically [1].
Echocardiographic findings
- There are deep trabeculations in the ventricular wall
- There is systolic and diastolic dysfunction
- The left ventricular wall is thick with a two layered appearance
- The epicardial layer is compacted and thin and the endocardial layer is non-compacted and thick
- The ratio of the non-compacted endocardial layer to the epicardial layer is > 2.
