Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), a kind of cardiomyopathy, is characterized by excessive and prominent trabeculations in the mature left ventricle (LV). LVNC has been defined as the heart's developmental failure to fully form the compact myocardium during the latter stages of cardiac development. Clinical features vary from asymptomatic to symptomatic individuals with gradual loss of heart function, heart failure, thromboembolic events, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death are all possible outcomes. We describe a case of a 39-year-old Caucasian female who presented with a sudden cardiac arrest that was later attributed to LVNC. To the best of our knowledge, only a few occurrences are found in the literature where female patients with LVNC were presented with sudden cardiac arrest.
左心室心肌致密化不全(LVNC)是一种心肌病,其特征是成熟的左心室(LV)存在过多且突出的肌小梁。LVNC被定义为心脏在发育后期未能完全形成致密心肌的发育性衰竭。临床特征从无症状个体到有症状个体不等,心功能逐渐丧失、心力衰竭、血栓栓塞事件、心律失常和心源性猝死都是可能的结果。我们描述了一例39岁的白人女性病例,该患者出现心脏骤停,后来被归因于LVNC。据我们所知,文献中仅有少数LVNC女性患者出现心脏骤停的病例。
