Abstract:
Objective To explore the echocardiography characteristics of non-compaction of ventricular myocardium(NVM),and assess its value in the diagnosis of NVM.Methods Philips SONOS 5500 color Doppler ultrasound system with 2-4 MHz transducers was used in 9 patients with NVM.Results In all 9 patients,the presence of multiple trabeculations and multiple deep intertrabecular Space communicating with the ventricular cavity was demonstrated by color Doppler imaging.Both ventricles were involved in 1 patient,only the left ventricle in 7 patients,and right ventricle in 1 patient.Conclusions NVM has typical ultrasonic appearance on echocardiography.It Can find out the NVM manifestations even if patients do not have any symptoms.It is a reliable and convenient way for diagnosing NVM.
