Abstract

The angiographic and haemodynamic findings in 2 cases of Pompe's disease (glycogenosis type II) indicated an abnormal trabecular pattern, not previously reported, on the left ventricular angiogram of both patients. This feature may be helpful in distinguishing Pompe's disease from other forms of myocardial abnormality.
