ABSTRACT

Varón de 32 años que consulta por dos meses de palpitaciones episódicas en los últimos dos meses. El examen físico solo reveló extrasístoles aisladas. El ecocardiograma mostró que el miocardio no era homogéneo en su contraste y definición, con diversas imágenes de trabeculación y anfractuosidades o grietas en el miocardio de las paredes del ventrículo izquierdo, engrosamiento del subendocardio a nivel del segmento no compacto: y, el eco-Doppler a color mostró la penetración sanguínea dentro de las anfractuosidades. Estos signos fueron compatibles con un miocardio no compacto o espongiforme, por lo que se revisa la literatura a propósito de este inusual caso.


A 32 year-old male consulted because of episodic palpitations in the past two months. The physical examination revealed only isolated premature ventricular contractions. The Echocardiogram showed that the myocardium was not homogeneous in its contrast and sharpness with various images of trabeculation and fissures in the myocardium walls of the left ventricle, thickening of the subendocardial wall at the noncompaction segment; and, color Doppler eco showed blood penetration into the fissures. These signs were compatible with a non-compaction or spongiform cardiomyopathy, so a review the of the literature with regard to this unusual case was done.
