Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular (LV) noncompaction are American Heart Association-recognized cardiomyopathies with distinct clinical and pathoanatomical features that are presumed to have different etiologies. We present two cases with features of both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and LV noncompaction, with emphasis on the emerging role of cardiac CT as a single imaging modality for morphological and functional evaluation of the heart.
