Isolated non-compaction of the left ventricle (LVNC) is a rare disorder, classified as a primary genetic or unclassified cardiomyopathy. Left ventricular non-compaction is characterised by an altered myocardial wall with prominent trabeculae and deep intertrabecular recesses caused by intrauterine arrest of compaction. This anomaly creates two layers consisting of compacted and non-compacted myocardium. Left ventricular non-compaction is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality in adults with no specific therapy. We report two rare cases of LVNC diagnosed in elderly patients.
