The treatment of noncompaction of ventricular myocardium

Cardiovascular Therapeutics
Ze-Zhou Song

Abstract

Critically reexamine and place in perspective the most appropriate therapeutic strategies for patients noncompaction of ventricular myocardium. Specific treatments are not available for the majority of patients with noncompaction of ventricular myocardium currently. Treatment of patients with noncompaction of ventricular myocardium could be similar to patients with other cardiomyopathies, especially dialated cardiomyopathy, and therefore, the primary aims of treatment are to control symptoms, disease progression, and complications, which should include appropriate treatment for heart failure, management of arrhythmias, and oral anticoagulation to prevent systemic emboli. Among the many challenges facing clinicians treating patients with noncompaction of ventricular myocardium are the detection of early disease, the identification of the predominant mechanism of left ventricular dysfunction, and the development of treatments that target the initiating mechanism of disease. Nevertheless, there have been major advances in our understanding of the genetic basis of noncompaction of ventricular myocardium, and recent advances in the drug therapy and nondrug therapy of noncompaction of ventricular myocardium have substantially improve...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
