Noncompaction Cardiomyopathy: Issues, Contradictions and Search for Effective Diagnostic Criteria. Literature Review. Part 2.

Active research of noncompaction cardiomyopathy (NCM) has been going on for more than 30 years. A significant amount of information has been accumulated that is familiar to a much larger number of specialists than in the most recent past. Despite this, numerous issues remain unresolved, ranging from classification (congenital or acquired, nosology, or morphological phenotype) to the ongoing search for clear diagnostic criteria that separate NCM from physiological hypertrabecularity and secondary noncompaction myocardium with the background of existing chronic processes.
