J Am Soc Echocardiogr. 2006 Aug;19(8):1073.e1-5. doi: 10.1016/j.echo.2006.03.020.

Abstract

We present a case of aorta-to-left ventricle (LV) tunnel and noncompaction LV in a 26-year-old woman. She was referred to our echocardiography laboratory for evaluation of aortic regurgitation by echocardiographic examination, which led to the diagnosis of the congenital abnormality of aorta-to-LV tunnel and noncompaction LV.
