ABSTRACT

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare form of cardiac disease that presents with symptoms of congestive heart failure, ventricular arrhythmias or thromboembolism. Within the Caribbean setting, there are limited data regarding its existence. We present a case of non-compaction cardiomyopathy, diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, with the use of established criteria. It is interesting to highlight such a condition within the small Caribbean population, especially given its link to heritability and the ease with which it can be mistaken for a dilated cardiomyopathy.
