Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a genetic anomaly where the ventricular wall is replaced by thick ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses held together by a thin compacted layer. We present a case of a 26-year-old male who presented with dyspnea on exertion and edema in his legs for the last one week.
