Overlapping Phenotypes of Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy and Left Ventricular Non-compaction: A Case Report and Discussion of Converging Cardiomyopathies
Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, often known as LVNC, is a form of congenital cardiomyopathy that is extremely uncommon. It is a condition that may be identified by an elevated number of endomyocardial trabeculations as well as an increase in their prominence. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy...

Sumario: | Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, often known as LVNC, is a form of congenital cardiomyopathy that is extremely uncommon. It is a condition that may be identified by an elevated number of endomyocardial trabeculations as well as an increase in their prominence. Alcoholic cardiomyopathy, also known as ACM, is a non-ischemic form of dilated cardiomyopathy that is characterized by contractile failure and an enlargement of the heart ventricles. It is not entirely known whether or not there is a clinically significant overlap in phenotypic characteristics between the two illnesses. We report a patient who had previously been diagnosed with ACM and who had cardiac MRI results that fit the criteria for both LVNC and ACM. |
