Abstract
There are three distinct cardiomyopathies: hypertrophic, dilated or congestive, and restrictive. Recently, the fourth type, “ventricular noncompaction,” has been described, but it is yet unclear if this truly is newly recognized cardiomyopathy or, rather, is a manifestation of dilated or congestive cardiomyopathy.
