Description
Alessandro Parodi and five colleagues review a heart muscle pattern called left ventricular hypertrabeculation in 2026. In this pattern, the wall of the heart's main pumping chamber shows a loose, spongy inner layer.
Once classed as an inherited heart disease in its own right, the pattern is now treated in recent guidelines as a trait rather than a disease. The review traces that shift in thinking and the naming change that came with it. The authors weigh the risks of calling the pattern a disease when it is harmless, and of missing it when it signals trouble. They close with a practical plan for doctors, built on careful collection of patient data.
