MIOCARDIOPATIA NÃO COMPACTADA: UM RELATO DE CASO

Non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCCM) is a rare congenital heart disease that is difficult to diagnose, and its treatment and prognosis are not as widespread. Because it is a genetic alteration, it can affect all genders, but it is more prevalent in men. Its clinical presentation has a variable presentation, from asymptomatic character, as well as congestive heart failure, arrhythmias and systemic thromboembolism. Echocardiographic and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging findings allow early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Better knowledge about the disease, the establishment of diagnostic criteria and management methods have been decisive for early diagnosis and favorable prognosis. In the case presented here, we report a male adult patient with NCCM diagnosed at 45 years after routine exams, as he was asymptomatic. Follow-up was performed by transthoracic echocardiography.
