title: Isolated left ventricular non-compaction with normal ejection fraction.
abstract: Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a genetic disease that is being increasingly recognised in patients presenting with heart failure of unknown origin. In this case report, we describe a patient with classic LVNC without clinical heart failure and with normal left ventricular ejection fraction.
