An Unusual Presentation of Left Ventricular Non-compaction Cardiomyopathy in an Elderly Patient

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy. The true prevalence of LVNC is unclear. The clinical presentation of LVNC varies widely from asymptomatic to end-stage heart failure or sudden cardiac death, and the diagnostic criteria are not standardized. Moreover, th...

description Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy. The true prevalence of LVNC is unclear. The clinical presentation of LVNC varies widely from asymptomatic to end-stage heart failure or sudden cardiac death, and the diagnostic criteria are not standardized. Moreover, there is an increased risk for thromboembolic events with LVNC. We present an unusual case of LVNC first diagnosed in a septuagenarian.
