Overview
Subjects symptoms from non-compaction cardiomyopathy range widely. It is possible to be diagnosed with the condition, yet not to suffer from any of the symptoms associated with heart disease [1]. Likewise it possible to suffer from severe heart failure [2], which even though the condition is present from birth, may only manifest itself later in life.

- Fatigue
- Pedal edema or swelling of the ankles
- Limited physical capacity and exercise intolerance
- In infants, there may be cyanosis, dysmorphic features, and failure to thrive
