Abstract

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a recently recognized disorder caused by a defect in endomyocardial morphogenesis. The disease can present with heart failure, systemic embolic events, and ventricular arrhythmias. Long-term prognosis is poor. Echocardiography is used to confirm the diagnosis; in the current case-report, we describe the typical abnormalities observed on echocardiography in a patient with non-compaction cardiomyopathy.
