Effect of trabeculated myocardial mass on left ventricle global and regional functions in noncompaction cardiomyopathy

Table 5 Comparison of global and regional (apical, midventricular, and basal) number of trabeculated segments and ejection fraction in left ventricular function

			Number of segments
		Total	Apical	Midventricular	Basal
Global EF	r	0.075	-0.034	0.146	-0.169
	P value	0.555		0.246	0.179
Apical EF	r	0.120	0.048
	P value	0.340	0.704
Midventricular EF	r	0.173		0.225
	P value	0.168		0.072
Basal EF	r	0.083			-0.229
	P value	0.510			0.066

It was observed that the number of trabeculated segments had no significant effect on regional and global left ventricular functions. There was no correlation between global ejection fraction (EF) and total number of trabeculated segments at apical, midventricular, and basal regions (P > 0.05). There was no correlation between apical EF and apical segment number, midventricular EF and midventricular segment number, or basal EF and basal segment number (P > 0.05).
