Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy. The true prevalence of LVNC is unclear. The clinical presentation of LVNC varies widely from asymptomatic to end-stage heart failure or sudden cardiac death, and the diagnostic criteria are not standardized. Moreover, there is an increased risk for thromboembolic events with LVNC. We present an unusual case of LVNC first diagnosed in a septuagenarian.
左心室致密化不全心肌病（LVNC）是一种罕见的心肌病。LVNC的真实患病率尚不清楚。LVNC的临床表现差异很大，从无症状到终末期心力衰竭或心源性猝死，且诊断标准不统一。此外，LVNC患者发生血栓栓塞事件的风险增加。我们报告了一例首次在一名七十多岁老人中诊断出的不寻常的LVNC病例。
