Vatthyam RK et al. – A 19–year–old African American man presented to a local emergency room with atrial flutter, dysarthria, and left–sided hemiparesis. He was previously healthy and a successful high school athlete. The patient decompensated and went into cardiac arrest. Two–dimensional echocardiography revealed biventricular dilation, severe systolic dysfunction, and a spongy myocardial appearance. Postmortem examination was diagnostic of biventricular noncompaction.
