Abstract

Noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCC) is a rarely seen type of congenital cardiomyopathy. It is caused by the defective embryonic migration of myocardial fibers (1). It is frequently complicated with heart failure, arrhythmias and embolic events. In this report, we presented a case with biventricular noncompaction accompanying a cleft mitral valve.
