In this article, the review of the literature on various aspects of the noncompaction cardiomyopathy is presented. Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a relatively rare congenital heart disease characterized by an excessive prominence of trabecular meshwork, and deep recesses of the ventricular myocardium. The most frequent is left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). LVNC can occur in isolation or coexist with other cardiac and systemic anomalies. Noncompaction can be detected with an echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The clinical presentation varies ranging from asymptomatic patients to patients who develop ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, thromboembolism.
