The clinical features of mitochondrial cardiomyopathy (MCM) are diverse. It can present as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or dilated cardiomyopathy. The diagnosis of MCM is challenging and usually based on biopsy.
The 30-year-old man was admitted to hospital due to dyspnea for 1 month and edema of both lower extremities for 1 week. Echocardiography suggested a whole heart enlargement, a whole heart diminished function. Renal impairment and diabetes were observed. Coronary angiography showed single-vessel disease (90% stenosis in the ostium of a small marginal branch). Left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy was performed.
Myocardial histopathology demonstrated a large number of abnormal mitochondrial accumulation, so the diagnosis was considered as mitochondrial cardiomyopathy.
线粒体心肌病(MCM)的临床表现多种多样。它可以表现为肥厚型心肌病或扩张型心肌病。MCM 的诊断具有挑战性,通常基于活检。
这名 30 岁男性因呼吸困难 1 个月,双下肢水肿 1 周入院。超声心动图提示全心扩大,全心收缩功能减退。检查发现肾功能损害和糖尿病。冠状动脉造影显示单支血管病变(小边缘支开口处 90%狭窄)。行左心室心肌内膜活检。
心肌组织病理学显示大量异常线粒体堆积,故诊断为线粒体心肌病。
