Abstract
"Spongy left ventricular myocardium," or noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium, is a rare disorder of endomyocardial morphogenesis. It is usually seen in the pediatric population and is often associated with other congenital cardiac malformations. We describe an adult with noncompaction of left ventricular myocardium without associated congenital cardiac anomalies.
