Overview
Patients with NCC frequently develop arrhythmias.
Atrial Arrhythmias
25% of patients with NCC develop atrial fibrillation[1][2].
Ventricular Arrhythmias
Up to 47% of patients develop ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death accounts for half the deaths in a series of patients with isolated left ventricular noncompaction[3][4].
