Popis: Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a rare disease, anatomically characterized by a prominent trabecular pattern and deep intertrabecular recesses. Its clinical manifestations include severe left ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, systemic embolism, and sudden death. In this report, two cases of patients of different ages with non-compaction cardiomyopathy are described: a male schoolboy whose pathology was associated with mitral stenosis and regurgitation and a 50-year-old female with history of high blood pressure and cardiac failure.
