Magnetic resonance imaging findings in a rare case of left ventricular noncompaction

Abstract

Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a relatively rare clinical entity with a grave outcome. Various morphological findings, both on two-dimensional echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have been depicted in the literature, helping in establishing the correct diagnosis of this condition. We describe a rare case of LVNC and its MRI features.
