- Provides a practical review of noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM), a new clinic-pathologic entity, characterized by a prominent trabecular meshwork and deep intertrabecular recesses
- Collates answers to the many questions regarding effective management of NCCM in clinical practice
- Includes a comprehensive and concise overview of NCCM for all medical professionals who manage this group of patients
This book provides a comprehensive but concise overview of noncompaction cardiomyopathy. Information on congestive heart failure, thromboembolic events, (potentially lethal) arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death is presented. Topics covered include the use of modern imaging modalities, such as contrast echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging in relation to noncompaction cardiomyopathy treatment. Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy is a critical resource for all medical professionals managing these patients, including clinicians in cardiology, electrophysiology, clinical and molecular genetics, pediatrics, pathology, neurology and general practitioners.
