Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical features and prognosis on the adult patients with noncompac -tion of ventricular myocardium ( NVM) .Methods The data of 13 adult patients with NVM from March 2008 to May 2013 were analyzed retrospectively .Results Among all patients , 8 patients were misdiagnosed as dilated cardiomy-opathy, 3 patients were misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease and 2 patients were misdiagnosed as heart valve dis-ease.Examined by echocardiography , 12 cases were found having left atrium and left ventricular dysfunction , 1 case having left and right atrioventricular dysfunction .Ejection fraction was less than 50% in 9 cases.Ventricular wall motion diffuse was decreased in 7 cases.12 cases suffered from different types of arrhythmia , while electrocardiogram retain normal in 1 case.Cardiac failure, arrhythmia and other complications were controlled when needed .2 patients with no symptoms didn′t take any medication .After a follow-up for 12 to 26 months, left ventricle was progressively amplified in all patients with cardiac failure , with aortic insufficiency in 1 case, thrombosis in 2 cases and cardiac function NYHAⅣin 1 case.Conclusion There are great differences of the clinical manifestations among the patients with NVM.Awareness of the disease should be raised in physicians and ultrasound doctors to recognize it better and to reduce missing diagnosis and to improve the patients′prognosis .
