How to Approach Left Ventricular Hypertrabeculation: A Practical Guide and Literature Review.

Left ventricular hypertrabeculation is one of the most debated conditions in modern cardiology. Many studies have tried to characterise this disease by addressing the various clinical risks and diagnostic tools, but its very nosological existence is currently being challenged. The latest ESC guidelines on cardiomyopathies state that it should be addressed as a morphologic trait rather than an intrinsic disease of the cardiac muscle. Despite the huge number of diagnostic criteria and possible phenocopies, no specific consensus identifies a specific flowchart regarding the management of patients with suspected hypertrabeculation. This review aims to provide a clinical approach for patients with a phenotypical appearance of excessive trabeculation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
