Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a rare and potentially progressive cardiomyopathy, characterized by the presence of prominent trabeculations of the left ventricle, associated with progressive systolic failure, stroke and arrhythmia. It has been linked to mutations in several genes, including LIM domain binding protein 3 (ZASP), alpha-dystrobrevin (DTNA), and genes encoding the sarcomeric proteins, beta-myosin heavy chain (MYH7), alpha-cardiac actin (ACTC), and cardiac troponin T (TNNT2).
