Left-Ventricular Noncompaction in a Pediatric Population: Predictors of Survival

Left-ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is an echocardiographic finding of increasing frequency in pediatrics; however, predictors of outcomes have been difficult to identify. We conducted a retrospective review of pediatric patients at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York from January o...

Zusammenfassung:	Left-ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is an echocardiographic finding of increasing frequency in pediatrics; however, predictors of outcomes have been difficult to identify. We conducted a retrospective review of pediatric patients at the Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital of New York from January of 1993 to September of 2009 to identify predictors of the primary outcome of death or heart transplantation. LVNC was identified in 50 patients, 34 of them
