Left ventricular noncompaction and mid-caviter narrowing associated with Ebstein's anomaly: three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiographic image. 2007

An 50 year-old asymptomatic female was admitted to preoperative cardiovascular evaluation for noncardiac surgery. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated that left ventricular dimensions and ejection fraction were normal. The mitral valve was normal both in morphology and function. The attached margin of septal and anterior leaflet of the tricuspid valve was apically displaced. But right ventricle and right atrium dimensions were normal, and Doppler interrogation showed a slight tricuspid regurgitation. Two and three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed prominent numerous trabeculations in the left ventricular apex. Colour flow Doppler studies confirmed the presence of blood flow within the trabeculations. Multi-plane three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography showed a muscular band leading to left ventricular mid-caviter narrowing. Pulse wave Doppler echocardiography demonstrated that no intraventricular gradient existed. Ventricular noncompaction associated with Ebstein's malformation has been reported. But left ventricular noncompaction and mid-caviter narrowing associated with Ebstein's anomaly have not been reported so far.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D004437	Ebstein Anomaly	A congenital heart defect characterized by downward or apical displacement of the TRICUSPID VALVE, usually with the septal and posterior leaflets being attached to the wall of the RIGHT VENTRICLE. It is characterized by a huge RIGHT ATRIUM and a small and less effective right ventricle.

D019560	Echocardiography, Three-Dimensional	Echocardiography amplified by the addition of depth to the conventional two-dimensional ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY visualizing only the length and width of the heart. Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was first described in 1961 but its application to echocardiography did not take place until 1974.
