Objective:
To describe the clinical behavior and the echocardiographic features of six patients with ventricular non-compaction associated to complex congenital heart disease.
Methods:
A complete clinical history and the echocardiographic study were performed in six patients with complex congenital heart disease. Jenni's criteria for the echocardiograph assessment of ventricular non compaction were used.
Results:
In all cases prominent trabeculae and deep intertrabecular recesses in the ventricular wall filled by direct blood flow from the ventricular chamber were visualized by color Doppler imaging. The ratio of none compacted to compacted layer was of 2.5±0.19. The associated congenital heart diseases were: Ulh's anomaly, the absence of right atrioventricular connection, single ventricle, cleft of mitral valve, transposition of the great arteries, double inlet in left ventricle.
Conclusions:
The clinical manifestations were presented in the childhood and they were associated with congenital heart defect. The echocardiography is a diagnostic method which allows the assessment of the ventricular noncompaction.
