Noncompaction cardiomyopathy: A rare cardiomyopathy

Introduction: Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NccM) is a rare form of cardiomyopathy. the American Heart Association classified it as a genetic cardiomyopathy. the pathogenesis of this condition is attributed to the failure of trabecular myocardium to compact and underdeveloped microcoronary circulation. case report: We present a case of a 72-year-old African American female who presented with sh...

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy: a current view.

Isolated non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare disease that is likely to develop in the embryonic period. It is caused by the intrauterine arrest of the myocardial compaction process in the beginning of the fetal development. It is characterized by prominent myocardial trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses, as well as the thickening of the myocardium into two distinct layers (compa...

Adult bi-ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy.

Noninvasive and invasive evaluation of noncompaction cardiomyopathy.

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a recently described rare congenital cardiomyopathy; patients can be asymptomatic or develop diastolic and/or systolic left ventricular dysfunction with heart failure, systemic emboli or ventricular arrhythmias. Long-term prognosis is poor. Currently, diagnosis is based on findings on 2D echocardiography; in the current case report we demonstrate the use of MRI t...

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy in the State of Qatar.

OBJECTIVE To study the development of noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium (NCCM) in the state of Qatar and to highlight the prognostic parameters in those patients. METHODS We conducted this study from 2000 to 2004 on patients who were referred to Hamad General Hospital with questionable echocardiographic features of cardiomyopathy with or without clinical manifestations of heart fail...
