Description
Résumé:UNLABELLED: Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a primary, genetic cardiomyopathy with variable clinical manifestations that include mitral regurgitation (MR)
METHODS: This study comprised patients diagnosed with NCCM and MR in two cardiac centers (King Abdul-Aziz Cardiac Center, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Sudan Heart Institute, Khartoum, Sudan), and seen in the period between 2002 and 2013. The study describes follow up, clinical, echocardiographic, and histopathological findings
RESULTS: Nineteen cases (85% females) were identified. Ten percent of the cases had relapses and remissions of heart failure. Echocardiographic features included leaflet retraction in all patients, characteristic malcoaptation, and a zigzag deformity of anterior leaflet in 57% of patients. Ruptured chordae were found in 15% of the patients. One patient had pathological examination of the mitral valve which showed myxomatous degeneration, and sclerotic and calcific changes
CONCLUSION: We describe and discuss a new mechanism for MR caused by NCCM with identifiable clinical and echocardiographic features, and pathological correlations
