Abstract

Left Ventricular Non Compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy which can present at any age. Here in we present a case of an eleven old female who was admitted with complaints of shortness of breath since two years and echocardiography revealing low ejection fraction and LVNC. On detailed workup, it was found that LVNC was running in her family with many of her siblings having similar condition. Although genetic association of LVNC has been reported before, yet such strong family history has not been reported so far.
