ad LVNC and picture of pulmonary hypertension. Three-year-old male patient presented with signs of pulmonary hypertension. Cine steady-state free precession (SSFP) in short axis and four-chamber cine images (a, b). Short axis image in diastole with red line denotes the thickness of the non-compacted myocardium, yellow line denotes the compacted myocardium and prominent trabecular network along the mid anterior, lateral, and inferior left ventricular wall segments with maximum thickness of non-compacted to compacted area in end diastole = 3.6 correlates with LVNC criteria (normal reference > 2.3). Both images (a, b) show dilated left ventricle with global hypokinesia, reduced EF (6.2%). There is marked dilatation of right ventricle which shows reduced ejection fraction (8.2%) associated with global hypokinesia and prominent trabeculation. There is dilated RVOT, pulmonary artery, and its two branches (c, d)
