Left ventricular non-compaction in a young male presented with left heart failure and multiple left ventricular thrombi.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare case of left ventricular non-compaction presenting with heart failure and intramural thrombi, emphasizing the role of echocardiography in diagnosis.
May warrant consideration of LV non-compaction in young adults with heart failure and thrombi; extends phenotypic descriptions in the literature.
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare disorder caused by the arrest of myocardial compaction during embryogenesis, leading to a non-compacted endocardial layer with marked trabeculations. The diagnosis is primarily based on echocardiographic demonstration of a spongy myocardium. Here, we present a young male with LVNC presenting with left heart failure and multiple left ventricular thrombi. We also review the presentation, diagnosis and management of this condition.
