Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium shows wide intrafamilial variability
July 14th, 2006
Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium shows wide intrafamilial variability. A team of researchers in the United States reports, "Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (NVM) is a relatively uncommon form of card iornyopothy characterized by a highly trabeculated myocardium. This report describes the clinical and genetic evaluation of a 3-generation kindred." "Family members were initially evaluated by 2-dimensional echocardiography," M.T.
