Abstract

Background:

Left ventricular non-compaction has been associated with heart failure, arrhythmia, thromboembolism and sudden death. The prevalence of non-compaction in patients with coarctation of the aorta and its clinical significance remains unknown, although obstructive left heart disease is common in patients with non-compaction. We sought to evaluate the prevalence of left ventricular non-compaction in patients with repaired aortic coarctation as well as its effect on left ventricular size and systolic function.

Methods and results:

In total, 268 patients (Mean age 26 (inter-quartile range 21–37) years, 63% male) undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for clinical follow-up were included from three tertiary centres for adult congenital heart disease. Clinical data was obtained from medical records and correlated with ventricular volumes and function. Left ventricular non-compaction was defined as a diastolic non-compacted:compacted dimension ratio >2.3 in the worst affected segment on a long-axis view. Left ventricular non-compaction was present in 8.2% of patients with repaired coarctation. Left ventricular end-diastolic volumes and stroke volumes were significantly higher in patients with non-compaction compared to those without. There were no significant differences in ventricular mass or ejection fraction in these two groups.

Conclusions:

Left ventricular non-compaction is relatively common in patients with repaired coarctation of the aorta and correlates with increased left ventricular end-diastolic volumes.
