Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy Combined with Severe Mitral Insufficiency: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

Objective: To explore the diagnosis and treatment of left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) combined with heart valve disease, and to improve the clinical understanding of this disease. Methods: To summarize the clinical data of 1 case of adult diagnosed with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy combined with severe mitral insufficiency in our hospital, and literature of domestic and foreign reports were reviewed. Results: The patient was admitted for 6 years with heart palpitate and asthma after activities before in hospital, severe mitral insufficiency with LVNC was diagnosed since the preoperative echocardiography and cardiac MRI were performed, and mitral valve replacement was performed under the general anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass, postoperative recovery was good and cardiac function was significantly improved compared with that before hospitalization. Conclusion: LVNC combined with severe heart valve disease is uncommon, and surgery is an effective method to treat LVNC combined with intracardiac malformation, which is beneficial for patients with early recovery of cardiac function.
