Right ventricular obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in primary myo-adenylate deaminase deficiency

Acta Myol. 2011 Jun;30(1):46-8.

Abstract

MyoAdenylate Deaminase Deficiency (MADD) is a relatively common metabolic disorder of the skeletal muscle. Patients with MADD usually show an impaired bioenergetic production and a clinical spectrum with either exercise-induced muscle pain, fatigue and/or rhabdomyolysis. Left ventricular hypertrophy as well as other types of cardiac involvement have been reported in patients with primary MADD. We describe herein a case of a 61-year-old woman with biochemical and genetic evidence of Myo-Adenylate Deaminase deficiency, in whom we found a right ventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy leading to severe outflow tract dynamic obstruction.
