Abstract. Non-compact right ventricular myocardium is a rare type of cardiomyopathy, it usually results from arrested myocardial development during embryogenesis. This diseasecan be characterized by excessive prominent trabeculations and deep inter-trabecular recesses in the ventricular wall. It might be a component of biventricular non-compact cardiomyopathy or an isolated form. Here we report on a case of 40-year-old male patient with isolated NMRV with a cardioembolic events.
Keywords: magnetic resonance imaging of the heart, non-compact myocardium of the right ventricle, non-compact cardiomyopathy
