FIG1
The electrocardiogram showed a normal sinus rhythm with no abnormalities (Figure 1).

FIG2
Chest X-ray showed a small bilateral pleural effusion with mild pulmonary edema (Figure 2).
Echo scans.. A) Apical 5-chamber view showing minimal trabeculations in the left ventricular apex. B) Repeat Echo showing increased trabeculation in the apex with a blue arrowhead showing area of compaction and full arrow showing area of non-compaction.

FIG3
A 2-D echocardiogram performed at this encounter revealed a mildly reduced left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) of 45% and a mildly dilated left ventricle with apical trabeculations and non-compaction of the left ventricle (Figure 3B). In comparison, an Echo done approximately 6 months ago showed an LVEF of 49% with no obvious structural abnormality (Figure 3A).
