Key result
Two cases of non-compaction cardiomyopathy were described, highlighting its clinical manifestations including severe left ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, systemic embolism, and sudden death.
Case Report (n=2)
Highlights the echocardiographic features of non-compaction cardiomyopathy to prevent missed or misdiagnosed cases.
Raises suspicion for non-compaction cardiomyopathy in unexplained LV dysfunction; case reports leave optimal management open.
Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare disease, anatomically characterized by a prominent trabecular pattern and deep intertrabecular recesses. Its clinical manifestations include severe left ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, systemic embolism, and sudden death. In this report, two cases of patients of different ages with non-compaction cardiomyopathy are described: a male schoolboy whose pathology was associated with mitral stenosis and regurgitation and a 50-year-old female with history of high blood pressure and cardiac failure.
