  • In a recent article, Hirano et al. reported about Ebstein’s anomaly, non-compaction/left ventricular hypertrabeculation (LVHT), and ventricular septal defect (VSD) in a single patient carrying a MYH7 mutation [1]. We have the following comments and concerns. LVHT is frequently associated with neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) or chromosomal defects [2]. MYH7 mutations may be even associated with muscle disease [3]. Was the described MYH7 mutation also manifesting in the skeletal muscle as has been previously reported [3,4]? Were family members carrying the MYH7 mutation also investigated for muscle disease?
