Type B aortic dissection in a patient with unknown left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy: cardiovascular magnetic resonance diagnosis.
A 61-year-old man was referred at our hospital for a cardiac evaluation after an episode of oppressive chest pain at rest. He was discharged with a MRI diagnosis of non-compaction cardiomyopathy presented with typical angina, left ventricle dysfunction and ischemic EKG findings without atherosclerotic narrowing and also with a type B aortic dissection, documented also by computed tomography.
