A RARE CASE OF FETAL CARDIAC SYNDROME
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 7
Abstract
A 42 year old male patient, who is not a smoker presented with chief complaints of breathlessness on mild exertion, chest pain for past 2 months. Initially it was suspected to be coronary artery disease which presented as cardiac failure. We admitted the patient and started on diuretics and anti-failure measures. After stabilization, echocardiogram was done. It showed non compaction of left ventricle. Non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium (NVM) is an uncommon disorder. It is thought to be caused by arrest of the normal process of endo myocardial morphogenesis. Jennes diagnostic criteria were fulfilled. Hence the diagnosis of idiopathic non compaction of left ventricle (INVM) was confirmed. Detailed assessment of cases presenting with cardiac failure helps us to arrive at such unusual diagnosis. The screening of family members prevents sudden death.
