Abstract
Left ventricular noncompaction is a rare cardiac pathology that results from an arrest in endomyocardial development in early embryogenesis. With great advances in imaging modalities, this pathological entity has been noted not only in the pediatric population but also in adults. Herein we report the case of a 62-year-old woman who successfully underwent aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation complicated by left ventricular noncompaction.Entities:
