Non-compaction cardiomyopathy – current literature review Review article

Main Article Content

Abstract

In recent years identification of isolated left ventricular non-compaction/hypertrabeculation is rapidly increasing. Despite highly interest in it many questions are unresolved. They concern mainly the definition of non-compaction cardiomyopathy and diagnosis. Moreover, trials involving large group of patients are required to assess the prognosis of those patients.
