Myocardial infarction in isolated ventricular non-compaction: contrast echo and MRI

Int J Cardiol. 2006 Aug 10;111(2):315-7. doi: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2005.09.054. Epub 2005 Dec 15.

Abstract

We describe the case of an occasional discovery of isolated ventricular non-compaction in an adult recovered for an acute myocardial infarction, in which only the echocardiogram revealed an isolated ventricular non-compaction, confirmed by MRI: an unusual association between coronary artery disease and isolated ventricular non-compaction.
