Abstract
Noncompacted myocardium is a rare genetic cardiomyopathy with specific echocardiographic signs. A case of differential diagnosis of noncompacted myocardium with the use of contrast-enhanced echocardiography (SonoVue, Bracco, Italy) is presented. 24-year-old man had complaints on cardiac chest pain of unknown genesis, ECG with non-specific T wave abnormalities, and suspicion of noncompacted myocardium according to echocardiography. Contrast-enhanced MRI showed a controversial signs of noncompacted myocardium. Contrast-enhanced echocardiography was performed and allowed to exclude this pathology. The case demonstrates the effectiveness of contrast-enhanced echocardiography for endocardium and left ventricle structures visualization.
