Abstract

Isolated Left Ventricular Non-Compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital anomaly LVNC is commonly associated with congenital heart disease. Patients with LV non compaction also manifest with typical symptoms of heart failure, arrhythmias and thromboembolism, we report a 22-year-old male with LVNC and patent ductus arteriosus. After careful reviewing of the literature we found that this is the tenth reported case to have such a rare association between left ventricular non compaction cardiomyopathy and patent ductus arteriosus.

Learning Objectives: LV non compaction is a rare type of cardiomyopathy that can be easily misdiagnosed by echocardiographers. This case highlights the importance of echocardiography in diagnosing LV non compaction .it also presents a rare association between LV non compaction and patent ductus arteriosus which is the least common congenital heart disease known to be associated with LV non compaction.
