Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Donohue syndrome

Jacqueline U M Termote et al. Cardiol Young. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

We report the case of a patient with Donohue syndrome who died of heart failure due to obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A literature survey revealed that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was present in 30% of these patients and was often fatal. Therefore, every patient with Donohue syndrome should be screened for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Keywords: Donohue syndrome; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; leprechaunism.
