Key result
A 51-year-old asymptomatic man was diagnosed with isolated right ventricular noncompaction presenting with unique EKG changes of ST segment elevation in leads V1-V3.
Case Report (n=1)
No
This case highlights that isolated right ventricular noncompaction can present asymptomatically with ST-segment elevation in the anterior chest leads.
Isolated RV noncompaction may cause asymptomatic anterior ST elevation; extends phenotypic descriptions but leaves open clinical implications pending further study.
Non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (NCVM) is a rare genetic disorder caused by intrauterine arrest of endomyocardial development. Left ventricle is the usual site of NCVM with very rare reports of isolated right ventricular non-compaction (IRVNC). We describe a case of asymptomatic IRVNC with unique EKG changes.

Aġġarwal et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Isolated right ventricular noncompaction (n=1). Isolated right ventricular noncompaction was evaluated. A 51-year-old asymptomatic man was diagnosed with isolated right ventricular noncompaction presenting with unique EKG changes of ST segment elevation in leads V1-V3.
