Abstract

Patients carrying Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase 9 (ACAD9) mutations reported to date mainly present with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and isolated complex I (CI) dysfunction. Here we report a novel ACAD9 mutation in a young girl presenting with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, isolated CI deficiency and interestingly multiple respiratory chain complexes assembly defects. We show that ACAD9 analysis has to be performed in first intention in patients presenting with cardiac hypertrophy even in the presence of multiple assembly defects.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly, known as an enlarged heart, is a multifactorial disease with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension, pregnancy, exercise-induced and idiopathic causes are some mechanisms of cardiomegaly. Discover the latest research of cardiomegaly here.
