Left ventricular non-compaction (spongy myocardium) is one of the most misclassified cardiomyopathies. It is characterised by an excessively prominent trabecular meshwork of myocardium and deep intertrabecular myocardium due to an arrest in the compaction process of the myocardial fibres. It could be isolated i.e. without any other structural heart defects or associated with congenital heart defects. The clinical manifestations are variable heart failure, arrhythmia, thromboembolic phenomena depending on extent of non-compaction of cardiac segment.
左心室心肌致密化不全(海绵状心肌)是最常被误诊的心肌病之一。其特征是由于心肌纤维致密化过程停滞,导致心肌小梁网络过度突出和小梁间心肌深陷。它可以是孤立的,即没有任何其他结构性心脏缺陷,也可以与先天性心脏缺陷相关。临床表现包括取决于心脏节段致密化不全程度的各种心力衰竭、心律失常和血栓栓塞现象。
