Figure 2 Comparison between echocardiography and positron emission tomography in patients with isolated ventricular noncompaction. The microcirculatory dysfunction is not confined to noncompacted segments (right and middle), but extends to most myocardial segments with wall motion abnormalities (left). Perfusion defects were assessed in 12 patients (108 segments); quantification was successful in only nine patients (81 segments). CFR = coronary flow reserve.
