Isolated noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium (INVM) is characterized by the presence of numerous prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses within the left ventricle, sometimes also affecting the right ventricle and interventricular septum.

Isolated right ventricular hypoplasia is a rare congenital anomaly. This condition is usually associated with a communication between the atria in the form of a patent foramen ovale or secondum atrial septal defect. We describe a familial occurrence of this rare disease. A 1-day-old male child and h

We describe a 7 1/2-year-old girl with mildly unusual phenotype and complex heart disease including ventricular myocardial noncompaction. She was found to have a distal 5q deletion, del(5)(q35.1q35.3). Fluorescent in situ hybridization showed that this deletion included the locus for the cardiac spe
