Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is characterized by heavy trabeculations, deep intertrabecular recesses, and a thickened myocardium consisting of thin compacted thick non-compacted layer.1 Previously an "unclassified cardiomyopathy", NCCM now recognized as congenital that can occur with other heart diseases or isolated cases. Although rare condition, shares genetic profile hypertrophic dilated cardiomyopathy, leading to strong familial association failure, embolic events, arrhythmias.
