Cardiovascular magnetic resonance findings in a case of Danon disease

J Cardiovasc Magn Reson. 2009 Apr 29;11(1):12. doi: 10.1186/1532-429X-11-12.

Abstract

Danon disease is a rare X-linked dominant lysosomal glycogen storage disease that can lead to severe ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. We report a case of Danon disease with cardiac involvement evaluated with cardiovascular magnetic resonance, including late gadolinium enhancement and perfusion studies.
