Risk calculators and risk factors for Noncompaction cardiomyopathy natural history

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

Overview

The presence of NCC is associated with variable degrees of congestive heart failure and may or may not be associated with congenital heart disease or diseases in other organs [1][2][3].

Complications, Involvement of Other Organs and Associated Disorders

Cardiac Disease

Neurologic Complications

Associated Genetic Disorders

Prognosis

In so far as noncompaction cardiomyopathy is a recently described entity, its association with long term clinical outcomes is not known. In a study which documented the long term follow up of 34 patients who were symptomatic with NCC, 35% had died at the age of 42 +/- 40 months. 12% of the patients required cardiac transplantation due to heart failure[4] .

The prognosis associated with NCC may be better than that reported in this article because only symptomatic patients were included in the aforementioned study. Genetic testing reveals that there are patients with lesser degrees of symptoms, and the prognosis in these patients has not been well defined.
