Severe aortic regurgitation in a patient with left ventricular non- compaction cardiomyopathy

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by excessive trabeculation and deep intertrabecular recesses most commonly affecting apical and mid- ventricular inferior and lateral segments. These patients are more prone to develop a typical triad of heart failure, thromboembolic events, and malignant arrhythmias. LVNC often coexists with other congenital or valvular heart diseases. Echocardiography is the standard imaging for the diagnosis of LVNC with several proposed criteria, mainly based on the ratio of non-compacted to compacted myocardial thickness
