This case report highlights a rare clinical presentation involving the coexistence of left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, significant coronary artery disease, and massive left ventricular thrombus.
Prompts vigilance for LV non-compaction in CAD with thrombus; leaves open prevalence and management questions.
Non-compaction of the left-ventricular myocardium is an extremely rare cardiomyopathy. The most common clinical manifestations are heart failure, ventricular arrhythmia, thromboembolism, and sudden cardiac death. The condition is diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography or magnetic resonance imaging. We report a rare case of a 55-year-old man with coexistence of left ventricular non compaction cardiomyopathy, significant coronary artery disease and massive thrombus formation within recesses in left ventricular cavity.
