Three-year follow-up with cardiac magnetic resonance in a patient with biventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy

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.
