Left-ventricular non-compaction is a myocardial disease of the left ventricle, characterized by exces¬sive trabeculations. The diagnosis relies is based on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of a 23-years-old patient diagnosed for left ventricular non compaction revealed by a sinus node dysfunction. This case underlines the importance of using multimodality imaging approach to enable a quick diagnosis which can be followed by appropriate treatment.
