Abstract EN
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG CoA) lyase deficiency is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by impairment of ketogenesis and leucine catabolism resulting in an organic acidopathy.
In 1994, a case of dilated cardiomyopathy and fatal arrhythmia was reported in a 7-month-old infant.
We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy in association with HMG CoA lyase deficiency in a 23-year-old man with the acute presentation of heart failure.
To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in an adult.
