Abstract
A wide spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias has been observed in patients with isolated ventricular non-compaction, which is defined by hypertrabeculated ventricular myocardium with deep intertrabecular recesses, in the absence of concomitant congenital heart disease. In this genetically diverse phenotype, the development of fibrosis contributes to an arrhythmogenic substrate underlying atrioventricular conduction diseases, supraventricular tachycardias and ventricular tachycardias. Within this spectrum, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia is the most frequently observed arrhythmia, and this prevalence has important implications for sudden cardiac death risk.
