Abstract:AimsNumerous diagnostic criteria for excessive trabeculation (ET), or so-called “noncompaction”, score the extent of the trabecular layer, yet whether the trabeculations themselves have a negative or positive impact on pump function is largely unknown. This study aimed to measure the ejection fraction (EF) of the trabecular layer and its impact on pump function assessment.Methods and resultsWe retrospectively analyzed cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) findings in patients with ET of the left ventricle (LV).
