摘要
A 25 year-old male patient symptomatic for heart palpitations underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) examination. CMR showed ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy involving both left and right ventricle. Patient started therapy with beta-blockers with a marked reduction in symptoms. During a three-year follow-up, the patient remained asymptomatic and in a second CMR examination, in 2006, showed no substantial variations in cardiac function. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
