Clinical and genetic manifestations of left ventricular non-compaction in children

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a myocardial disease characterized by a two-layered structure typically seen at the apical and lateral left portions of the ventricular myocardium, distal to the papillary muscles. While considered a rare disease, its prevalence in children is increasing due to the increased awareness of this condition and improved resolution of imaging techniques. The etiology is heterogeneous, ranging from inherited conditions to acquired diseases. Although many patients are asymptomatic, some patients may experience adverse events, including heart failure, arrhythmias, or thromboembolic events. Several echocardiographic or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging diagnostic criteria have been proposed for diagnosing LVNC. However, their application in children is significantly limited. This review aims to describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with LVNC and discuss the role of the proposed diagnostic criteria.
