Sudden cardiac death in isolated right ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction cardiomyopathy

We report the cases of three patients who presented with ventricular tachyarrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. They were found to have isolated right ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction on echocardiography. This supports the hypothesis that this condition is highly arrhythmogenic and is associated with high mortality similarly to the left ventricular hypertrabeculation/noncompaction cardiomyopathy.
