Cardiopathy in a patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy

Perinatal Management of Pregnancy Complicated by Autosomal Dominant Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy.

Introduction Autosomal dominant Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (AD-EDMD) is rare compared with other forms of muscular dystrophy and is characterized by cardiac conduction defects. Here, we present the case of a patient diagnosed with AD-EDMD during the first trimester of pregnancy who developed acute preeclampsia and subsequently, congestive heart failure (CHF) following cesarean section. C...

Cardiac involvement in Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy: a case series.

Three patients with Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy are reported. Emery Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is an X linked muscular dystrophy, in which locomotor involvement is characteristically mild and slowly progressive. The effect on the heart becomes apparent in the teenage years and is characterised by cardiac conduction defects and infiltration of the myocardium by fibrous and adipose tissue....

Anaesthetic management of a patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy is a rare form of muscular dystrophy associated with cardiac implications such as cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias leading to sudden death. We describe the anesthetic management of a patient with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy who presented for orthopaedic surgery and discuss the disorder and its potential anaesthetic implications.
