\\Patients with chronic anemia, athletes and pregnant women may develop left ventricular trabeculations that may be consistent with the diagnosis of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). We report the case of a pregnant woman who was found to have LV trabeculations consistent with LVNC, which regressed in postpartum follow-up.This observation is interesting to distinguish between LVNC as a disease, and non-compaction syndrome that could be associated with some cardiomyopathies or some physiological states such as pregnancy.
