Research progress on genetic pathogenesis of non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium in children / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Non-compaction of the ventricular myocardium(NVM), also known as cavernous cardiomyopathy, is dominated by left ventricular non-compaction(LVNC)in most patients.The incidence of NVM in childhood cardiomyopathy is second only to dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and the pathological changes are prominent trabeculae and deep intertrabecular clefts.Most pediatric patients have serious complications, such as heart failure, serious arrhythmias, and thrombus.Therefore, it is particularly important to study the pathogenesis of LVNC in children.NVM may be caused by the cessation of myocardial compaction in early embryonic development, so the genetic pathogenesis of NVM is particularly important.This review aimed to elucidate the genetic pathogenesis of LVNC in children, and provide more ideas for the pathogenesis and genetic therapy of LVNC in the future.
