Noncompaction cardiomyopathy classification

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy can occur with or without associated congenital heart disease. When it occurs in the absence of congenital heart disease, it is called isolated non-compaction cardiomyopathy. If it occurs in the absence of congenital heart disease and only the left ventricle is involved, it is called isolated left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy.
