From: Differential diagnosis of thickened myocardium: an illustrative MRI review
A 45-year-old woman with reduced ejection fraction and isolated LV non-compaction. a Echocardiographic findings were suggestive of apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (asterisks). b Short-axis cine SSFP MR image at end-diastole shows left ventricular apical trabeculated myocardium and thin epicardial compacted layer. End-diastolic ratio between non-compacted and compacted layers is greater than 2.3. c End-diastolic long-axis view SSFP image demonstrates the myocardial trabeculations (arrows) and clearly depicts their extension from apex to lateral wall
