Abstract
Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare genetic condition and may occur either in a familial form or in a sporadic form. It is characterized by excessive trabeculation and occurrence of deep intertrabecular recesses. Usually the diagnosis is made during an accidental echocardiography or during the screening process of the family members. Although there is no gold standard for the diagnosis, Jenni et al. criteria used during echocardiography examination are the most common. Treatment is based on suppressing the progression of heart failure, thromboembolism prevention and dealing with arrhythmias. Moreover, patients have often cardioverter-defibrillator implanted and they are enrolled on the heart transplant list.
