A 45-year-old man presented to the hospital with typical chest pain compatible with myocardial infarction. An electrocardiogram showed left bundle branch block. The patient underwent urgent coronary angiography, which revealed no significant coronary artery disease. Echocardiography showed noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium. This unusual case of angina occurring in a patient with isolated noncompaction of the left ventricle is discussed with a review of the literature.

Two juvenile (five- and 10-month-old), male, neutered, Jack Russel terrier cross dogs, each presented primarily for respiratory signs of varying severity, were included in the study. The first presented for coughing and weakness, and the other presented in respiratory distress. A cardiac murmur was absent in both.

The X-linked NONO gene encodes Non-Pou Domain-Containing Octamer-Binding Protein, a multifunctional member of the DBHS family involved in transcriptional regulation, RNA splicing and DNA repair. Pathogenic variants in NONO cause Intellectual Developmental Disorder, X-linked Syndromic (MIM #300967), characterised by intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental delay, cardiomyopathy, such as left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC), and congenital heart defects such as including atrial septal defect (ASD), ventricular septal defect (VSD), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and patent foramen ovale (PFO). This study reports three new patients with pathogenic hemizygous frameshift variants in NONO identified with exome sequencing, broadening the clinical presentation.

Fetal bradycardia associated with left ventricle noncompaction diagnosed as HCN4 mutations.

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Nagano Children's Hospital, Nagano, Japan.

A 35-year-old pregnant woman was referred to our hospital because of fetal bradycardia. Fetal echocardiography revealed a normal fetal heart except for slightly prominent trabeculae in the left ventricle, normal cardiac function, and fetal sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of 100 bpm. Electrocardiography (ECG) after birth revealed sinus bradycardia with a heart rate of 70-80 bpm.

Cardiomyopathies are generally divided into ischemic and nonischemic types. Dilated cardiomyopathies, which are a type of nonischemic cardiomyopathy, may have a trait of left ventricular noncompaction. We present the case of a 34-year-old man with new-onset decompensated heart failure and left ventricular noncompaction from a BAG3 (Bcl-2 associated athanogene 3) truncating mutation.
