  • Title: Heart transplantation in a patient with isolated noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium.
    Author: Stamou SC, Lefrak EA, Athari FC, Burton NA, Massimiano PS.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2004 May; 77(5):1806-8. PubMed ID: 15111190.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient with isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle who presented with worsening congestive heart failure and was successfully treated with heart transplantation. The prognosis for these patients is poor because of accelerated event rates of fatal arrhythmias, thromboemboli, and profound left ventricular decompensation. Only 7 patients with isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle have been reported to have undergone heart transplantation. Herein we describe a patient with isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle who underwent successful heart transplantation.
