Risk calculators and risk factors for Noncompaction cardiomyopathy epidemiology and demographics

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

Overview

This is a rare genetic disorder. The incidence may increase as imaging modalities improve [1].

==Incidence in Children==

The incidence is estimated to be 0.12 cases per 100,000 children [2].

Incidence in Infants

Others have estimated the rate to be as high as 0.81 per 100,000 infants per calender year.

Male Predominance

There is an excess incidence of the disease in males (56% to 82%). This has been taken as evidence that in some cases there may be x-linked inheritance.
