Ventricular noncompaction or hypertrabeculation is rare and unclassified cardiomyopathy that mostly affects the left ventricle. We report the case of biventricular hypertrabeculation in a 54‐year‐old woman who presented with congestive heart failure de novo associated with arrhythmia in a low‐income setting. We also discussed the therapeutic challenges.
