Abstract
Non-compaction of the left ventricle is a rare hereditary cardiomyopathy, belonging to a group of so-called “unclassifiable” cardiomyopathies, whose clinical manifestations and prognosis vary from patient to patient. Diagnosis is based on cardiac imaging, represented mainly by transthoracic echocardiography, as well as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Transthoracic echocardiographic screening is systematically performed in the family of every patient with this pathology. We report here the case of a 64-year-old man admitted to our department for the management of palpitations in connection with atrial tachycardia on a terrain of non compaction of the left ventricle.
