Why the study?
Left ventricular noncompaction is a relatively rare clinical entity with a grave outcome, where imaging findings assist in establishing the correct diagnosis.
Cardiac MRI provides morphological findings that help establish the correct diagnosis of left ventricular noncompaction.
Highlights MRI features aiding LVNC diagnosis; leaves open need for validated criteria in larger cohorts.
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.
