  40. Accuracy of Combined Echocardiographic criteria • 199 patients referred to heart failure clinic • Compared with 60 normal controls • Evaluated all 3 echo criteria • 47 patients (24%) fulfilled any echo criteria • Chin et al, 19% • Jenni et al, 15% • Stollberger et al, 13% • Combined: 7% fulfilled all 3 criteria • 5 controls (8%) fulfilled echo criteria • 4 controls African-American • Current criteria too sensitive? Kohli S et al, EHJ 2008

  41. An underdiagnosed disease? • 27 pediatric patients with noncompaction(Ichida F et al, JACC 1999) • Diagnosis missed in 89% patients • Alternative diagnoses: dilated cardiomyopathy, apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, myocarditis • 17 adults identified with noncompaction of 37,555 echos screened (Ritter M et al., Mayo Clin Proc 1997) • Onset of symptoms to diagnosis: 3.5±5.7 years

  44. Methods • 17 segment model • Excluded true apex as thinner wall • Noncompacted segment • 2 myocardial layers with different tissue compaction • Segment of most pronounced trabeculations • Ratio of noncompacted to compacted myocardium in diastole measured

  45. Healthy volunteers: 91% subjects w/ NC in apex, 78% mid, 21% base. • Most common anterior • Similar distribution in other groups • Noncompaction patients significantly greater # segments involved (10±3) than all other groups
