AB Cardiac  trabecular  anatomy  is  characterized  by  extreme  individual  and  population  variability  that  corresponds  to  a  sort  of  individual  cardioprinting.  In  normal  hearts,  trabeculae  undergo  continuous  and  quantifiable  geometric  changes  during  the  cardiac  cycle;  they  actively  provide  mechanical  leverage  during  early  systolic  ejection  through  contraction,  and  relaxation  occurs  during  late  diastole  at  larger  ventricular  volumes.1  In  the  left  ventricle,  trabeculae  can  be  minimally  represented  or  may  be  so  numerous  and  prominent  that  they  confer  a  “spongy”  appearance  to  the  endocardial  surface  of  the  ventricles.  The  latter  corresponds  to  the  term  left  ventricular  noncompaction  (LVNC).
