Abstract

Desmin-related myopathy (DRM) is a rare heritable cardiac and skeletal muscle disease caused by mutations in the desmin gene (DES). DRM is generally characterized by skeletal muscle weakness, conduction disturbance, and dilated cardiomyopathy. However, the clinical cardiac phenotypes of DRM are not yet fully understood. Herein, we report the first case of DRM with the de novo missense DES mutation, R454W, that is characterized by left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, progressive cardiac conduction defect, spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and no skeletal muscle weakness. Our case findings suggest that clinicians should genetically test patients who have cardiomyopathy, progressive cardiac conduction defect, and coronary artery dissection, even if the patient has neither family history of DRM nor skeletal muscle symptoms.

Cardiac Conduction System

The cardiac conduction system is a specialized tract of myocardial cells responsible for maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. Discover the latest research on the cardiac conduction system here.

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.
