Overview
The phenotypic expression of NCC is variable, and some, but not all patients have left ventricular systolic and or diastolic dysfunction.
Abnormalities in Cardiac Function
- There can be abnormalities in systolic and diastolic function. There can also be hypercontractile dysfunction.
- These patients are at risk of forming mural thrombus in the left ventricle and embolization. As a result, all patients with NCC are treated with prophylactic aspirin.
- There is no communication of the sinusoids with the coronary arteries[1].
