| description | A 41-year-old female was brought to the ER after a presyncope and absence episode while riding a bike. She recalled no prodromi. Her physical and neurological examinations were unremarkable; past medical, family, substance, and travel history bland. She reported a constant tiredness, sporadic slight cephalgia, responsive to acetaminophen, and a recent syncope while jogging, resulting in a fall, circumstances of which she could not recall. Non-compaction cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomyopathy that was first described 25 years ago. Its molecular genetic basis is not yet fully clear, and the same is true of its diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Further study of these matters is needed. |
