Abstract
Abstract The term ’noncompaction’ cardiomyopathy has been traditionally used to define excessive trabeculations of left ventricle free wall associated with dilated cardiomyopathy phenotype on imaging. Further research had delved into genetic origins of this entity. Use of modern imaging modalities suggests that these excessive muscle projections (“trabeculations”) can also be detected in apparently healthy individuals, pregnant females and athletes without evidence of cardiomyopathy. This review delves into the historical nomenclature, updated definitions and clinical relevance of this condition.
