Abstract
In a recent article, Tian et al. [1] reported about the
echocardiographic and pathological findings in 9 fetuses with
left ventricular hyper trabeculation/non-compaction (LVHT).
We have the following comments and concerns. The authors
differentiate between non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM)
and left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC). In our view these are
two different terms which describe the same entity. Which is the
difference between NCCM and LVNC in the authors’ view? Absence
of additional cardiac abnormalities should not be a differentiating
criterion.
