Introduction: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an ultra-rare genetic disease caused by a mutation in the gene, located on the X chromosome. This gene codes for the protein tafazzin, which is involved in the metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid - cardiolipin. Symptoms of this genetic defect include dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, growth retardation, reduced cholesterol levels, increased serum lactic acid levels, and hypoglycemia in the neonatal period.

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy which is characterized by prominent and extensive trabeculation and deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with left ventricular cavity. Here we present a rare case report of patient with severe secondary Mitral regurgitation (MR) and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in LVNC cardiomyopathy who underwent MV Repair using ring annuloplasty with #28 CG future ring and kay's suture annuloplasty for severe TR and its postoperative management. Patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged with improved hemodynamics.

Background: Myocardial bridging is an anatomical variant in which coronary arteries course within the myocardium rather than on the epicardial surface. Complete intramyocardial coronary systems are extremely rare and can lead to significant clinical consequences.
Case Summary: An 18-year-old man with left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy experienced chest pain and syncope while playing basketball, and was subsequently diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Abnormal aortic elasticity serves as a marker for cardiovascular mortality and has a negative impact on the left ventricular (LV) afterload. Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is characterized by hypertrabeculation of the LV endomyocardial wall, with an underdeveloped endocardial helix. This may result in absence of LV twist, disturbed aortic elasticity, LV dysfunction, and ultimately premature heart failure (HF).

Noncompaction myocardium (NCM) is a rare cardiac condition characterized by prominent trabeculation, associated with an increased risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and embolism. We report the case of a 46-year-old man, smoker, with a family history of sudden cardiac death, who presented to the emergency department with progressive dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed dilated cardiomyopathy with severe biventricular dysfunction and marked apical trabeculation of the left ventricle.
