Risk Stratification and Early Prevention Strategies for Non-compaction of Ventricular Myocardium (CAPTAIN)

The term 'left ventricular non-compaction' (LVNC) has been used to describe a ventricular phenotype characterized by prominent LV trabeculae and deep intertrabecular recesses. The myocardial wall is often thickened with a thin,compacted epicardial layer and a thickened myocardial layer. In some patients, this abnormal trabecular architecture is associated with LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction. Left ventricular non-compaction is frequently a familial trait and is associated with variants in a range of genes, including those encoding proteins of the sarcomere, Z-disc, cytoskeleton, and nuclear envelope.
