We present a case of a 61-year-old man who underwent aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation complicated with left ventricular noncompaction. The pathogenesis of this condition remains unknown. In advanced form, left ventricular noncompaction produces marked disability and carries a poor prognosis. We underscore that familiarity with this disease entity will help to stimulate early diagnosis and timely treatment when necessary.
