Preface
Why Do We Need This book? Noncompaction of the left ventricle or noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a new clinic-pathological entity that was first described by Rolf Engberding et al. in 1984 as an isolated case with this abnormal myocardial pattern with the “persistence of isolated myocardial sinusoids”. It is characterized by a prominent trabecular meshwork and deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with the left ventricular (LV) cavity, morphologically reminiscent of early cardiac development, and is therefore thought to be caused by an arrest of normal embryogenesis of the myocardium. We are therefore proud and very grateful for Dr. Engberding’s excellent contribution for the first chapter of this title. The initial presentation includes congestive heart failure, thromboembolic events, and (potentially lethal) arrhythmias, including sudden cardiac death. NCCM may be a part of a more generalized cardiomyopathy, involving both the morphologically normal and the predominantly apical abnormal LV segments. The cardiological features of NCCM range fr
