Résumé
Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by trabeculations of the left ventricle found on echocardiogram and/or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI). This rare disease is associated with thromboembolism and an increased risk of ventricular thrombus formation. We present the case of a 73-year-old female who was admitted for a suspected cerebrovascular accident (CVA), later found on echocardiogram and CMRI to have NCC with left ventricular thrombus. She was started on warfarin indefinitely. We highlight the rarity of this phenomenon as well as the unique questions regarding initiation, length, and choice of therapeutic anticoagulation in the absence of atrial fibrillation in these patients. Consideration of this diagnosis should be made in the absence of other cardioembolic etiologies with prompt management based on available guidelines.
