Overview
Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCC), sometimes known as "spongiform cardiomyopathy" is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy that affects both children and adults. It refers to a type of cardiomyopathy where the myocardial development is hindered during the early stages of fetal development (the embryogenesis stage). [1] [2]. It results from the failure of myocardial development during embryogenesis.[1][2]
