Overview
On echocardiography there is ventricular hypertrophy with deep recesses which tend to be located apically.
Ratio of Compacted to Non-Compacted Myocardium
- There are deep trabeculations in the ventricular wall
- There is systolic and diastolic dysfunction
The ratio of compacted to non-compacted myoacardium may very at various developmental stages and ages. , which define recesses communicating with the main ventricular chamber. Major clinical correlates include associated at times with systemic embolic events. On echocardiography 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.
