title: Isolated left ventricular noncompaction in association with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
abstract: Fifty year old man with a known case of chronic rheumatic heart disease with atrial fibrillation was presented with severe mitral stenosis. He was incidentally detected to have noncompaction of left ventricle on echocardiography and Doppler examination. He underwent successful percutaneous trans-luminal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) for severe mitral stenosis. This is the first reported case of isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) associated with acquired chronic rheumatic mitral stenosis.
