A case of multiple hemangiomata of the liver is reported in an infant who presented signs and symptoms strongly suggesting congenital heart disease. The post mortem examination revealed no gross anomalies of the heart or great vessels, but did show a heart with cardiac hypertrophy. A mechanism to explain the cardiac failure in this case is discussed.

LVNC is a relatively new clinical entity, with a significant increase in awareness and diagnosis in recent years. Currently the aetiology and pathogenesis of LVNC remains uncertain, alongside prevalence, however the diagnosis of LVNC appears to be increasing with improving imaging techniques. For educational purposes involving a rare clinical condition, we present the case of a 52 year old gentleman who was diagnosed with LV non compaction via ECHO and CMR. Interestingly it was noted two of his children had congenital heart disease, one daughter had Tetralogy of Fallot, and a second daughter had both an ASD and VSD. Challenges facing LVNC involve difficulty of diagnosis with no gold standard yet available, uncertainty of benefit with standard disease modifying therapies for HF-REF, and apparent increased risk of arrhythmias suggesting early ICD placement may be warranted for patients. Keywords: Hr-Ref; heart failure; lv non compaction; arrhythmias; lcd Risk.
