ABSTRACT
Non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM),a rare congenital and inherited cardiomyopathy,is characterized by prominent trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses in communication with the ventricular cavity.NVM has diverse clinical presentations without specificity,of which the major characteristics are cardiac insufficiency,arrhythmias and thrombosis.Echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging are necessary technologies to diagnose NVM.Symptomatic therapy is the only choice for most patients.Furthermore,if medical treatment fails,the heart transplantation could be performed.As a whole,NVM has a high mortality and entirely different prognosis,however,the prognosis of asymptomatic patients is relatively good.
