MRI and genetic data find no independent risk from hypertrabeculation
A team from the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC), working with a large international network of hospitals and research centers, has shown that left ventricular hypertrabeculation—an anatomical feature of the heart long associated with poor prognosis—does not lead to worse outcomes in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.
The study, conducted in 1,160 patients from 22 centers in Spain and the Netherlands, concludes that the presence of hypertrabeculation is not associated with an increased risk of embolic events, advanced heart failure or severe ventricular arrhythmias. The results, published in the journal Circulation, suggest that this pathology should be considered a morphological trait within dilated cardiomyopathy and not an independent clinical entity that …
