Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with tacrolimus in paediatric transplant patients

Lancet
P R AtkisonS Williams

Abstract

Reported side-effects of tacrolimus, a potent immunosuppressive agent, have not included cardiotoxicity. We describe 5 consecutive paediatric transplant recipients (3 small bowel with or without liver and 2 liver) who received tacrolimus. 2 developed congestive heart failure and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy which resolved after changing to cyclosporin. In the other 3 patients the cardiomyopathy regressed or improved with a lower dose of tacrolimus or after stopping the drug.
