Transthoracic echocardiography. (a) Parasternal long-axis view, the left ventricule telediastolic diameter is 80 mm. (b) Parasternal long-axis view, aortic regurgitation. (c) Short-axis view at the level of the aorta, bicuspid aorti valve.

The left ventricle was dilated with a severe functional mitral regurgitation (Figure 1). Although previous echocardiography demonstrated significant aortic insuficiency, the aortic regurgitation was measured minimal (Figure 1).
Transthoracic echocardiography. (a) and (b) Apical four-chamber view, characteristic, multiple, prominent muscular trabeculations and intertrabecular recesses. (c) Color Doppler mode, blood flow within the deep intertrabecular recesses.

In addition, repeat echocardiography visualized prominent ventricular trabeculations in left ventricle, predominant to apical and mid-inferior areas (Figure 2). The right ventricle appeared to be more heavily trabeculated than normal while color Doppler displayed flow within the deep intertrabecular recesses (Figure 2).
