Left Ventricular Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy and Myocardial Bridging Association: A Coincidence Or a Usual Association?

Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, Volume 35, No. 3, Year 2023

Left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital disease. It occurs due to an arrest of the myocardial fibers compaction during embryogenesis. Myocardial bridge (MB) is a coronary anomaly in which the myocardium. covers segments of the coronary arteries. We report a rare case of 62-year-old women who was diagnosed with the association of LVNC and MB revealed by chest pain and dyspnea. Some similar cases were reported in the last two decades suggesting that we may be in front of a usual yet underdiagnosed association. To our knowledge, this is the first case described in the Arab World. © 2023 Saudi Heart Association.
