Left-ventricular non-compaction is a myocardial disease of the left ventricle, characterized by exces­sive trabeculations.  The diagnosis relies is based on  echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We report a case of a 23-years-old patient diagnosed for left ventricular non compaction revealed by a sinus node dysfunction. This case underlines the importance of using multimodality  imaging  approach to  enable  a  quick diagnosis  which  can  be  followed  by  appropriate treatment.
