Abstract

The non-compaction cardiomyopathy (MVNC) is a primary genetic entity characterized by abnormalities in the morphology of the ventricular wall, apparently caused by a disturbance in endomyocardial morphogenesis during embryonic development, demonstrating the presence and persistence of trabeculations accompanied by recesses intertrabecular that are perfused from the ventricular cavity, these spaces lacunar intertrabecular have no connection to the coronary tree. His prognosis is determined by the degree of left ventricular dysfunction, severity of arrhythmias and emerging occurrence of thromboembolic events, such symptoms that characterize this clinical entity. Validated diagnostic criteria include the contributions of echocardiogram, magnetic resonance and currently totals computed tomography. There are heart entities but share some morphological characteristics of myocardial structure, do not meet all the diagnostic criteria for it.
