Non compaction cardiomyopathy and Antiphospholipid syndrome: a catastrophic thromboembolic association.
We described a massive non compaction cardiomyopathy associated with Antiphospholipid syndrome in a 53-year-old male with many episodes of ischemic cerebral stroke complicated by functional disability, cognitive decline and vascular dementia. In our case, the association of massive non compaction cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular dysfunction added to Antiphospholipid syndrome has showed a dramatic thromboembolic manifestation.
