Overview
The phenotypic expression of NCC is variable, and some, but not all patients have left ventricular systolic and / or diastolic dysfunction. Arrhythmias and embolization are also present.
Abnormalities in Cardiac Function
- There can be abnormalities in systolic and diastolic function. There can also be hypercontractile dysfunction.
- These patients are at risk of forming mural thrombus in the left ventricle and embolization. As a result, all patients with NCC are treated with prophylactic aspirin.
