Abstract
Left ventricular non compaction (LVNC) is a rare condition characterized by prominent ventricular trabeculations and intertrabecular recesses,Mitral regurgitationwhen present is usually a result of annular dilation, mitral valve prolapse due to chordae tendinae rupture is quite rare.We present the case of a 48 year old male with no medical history who presented with worsening exertional dyspnea classified as NYHA class III. The physical examination found a systolic murmur heard at the apex. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance confirmed the diagnosis of Left ventricular non compaction associated with posterior mitral valve prolapse with severe mitral regurgitation and preserved ventricular function who was successfully operated and found asymptomatic during the follow up.
