Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare condition that is believed to represent an arrest in endomyocardial morphogenesis. This entity may be complicated by the development of mural thrombi and embolic events, however data on the associated thromboembolic risk is variable and poorly defined. We describe 2 cases of LVNC in African American patients presenting with thromboembolic manifestations and briefly review the available literature relevant to this complication.
左心室心肌致密化不全（LVNC）是一种罕见病症，被认为是心内膜心肌形态发生停滞的表现。该病症可能并发壁血栓形成和栓塞事件，然而，关于相关血栓栓塞风险的数据存在差异且定义不明确。我们描述了2例出现血栓栓塞表现的非裔美国LVNC患者，并简要回顾了与该并发症相关的现有文献。
