| Description | Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NC) is a rare myocardial disease that belongs to the non-classified congenital cardiomyopathies [1]. NC presentation varies, from being isolated to the left and/or the right ventricle and could be associated with congenital heart defects [2]. The clinical manifestation and morphology of the myocardium is highly variable which can lead to uncertain and even mistaken diagnoses. |
