Abstract | A 9-months-old boy and 4-month-old girl presented with severe heart failure. The electrocardiogram showed complete and "incomplete" left bundle branch block, respectively. In both infants noncompaction of the verticular myocardium was diagnosed with twodimensional echocardiography. These cases arethought to be the first descriptions of the occurence of left bundle branchblock with noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium. Noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium should be added to the list of the causes for left bundle branch block in children. | |
