GLYCOGEN STORAGE DISEASE INDUCED RESTRICTIVE CARDIOMYOPATHY

Glycogen storage diseases presenting as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

BACKGROUND Unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy often prompts the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a sarcomere-protein gene disorder. Because mutations in the gene for AMP-activated protein kinase gamma2 (PRKAG2) cause an accumulation of cardiac glycogen and left ventricular hypertrophy that mimics hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, we hypothesized that hypertrophic cardiomyopathy might ...

Pompe's Glycogen Storage Disease

The clinical spectrum is continuous and broad and three major forms are recognised: infantile, juvenile and adult-onset. [1] In the infantile form, accumulation of glycogen in cardiac muscle leads to cardiac failure. Accumulation may also occur in the liver, which results in hepatomegaly and elevation of hepatic enzymes. Glycogen accumulation in muscle and peripheral nerves causes hypotonia and...
