Isolated non-compaction of the left ventricle in a patient with new-onset heart failure: morphologic and functional evaluation with cardiac multidetector computed tomography.

We describe a case of new-onset heart failure in a patient in whom cardiac CT enabled the non-invasive diagnosis of isolated non-compaction and associated functional abnormalities of the left ventricle with the concomitant evaluation of coronary arteries. This case highlights the utility of cardiac CT for the morphological and functional evaluation of the heart as a single imaging modality.
