Abstract
We report on cardiomyopathy in propionic acidemia (PA) diagnosed using delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic imaging (DECM) in a 27-year-old woman. DECM demonstrated hyperenhancement at the lateral wall of the left ventricle, suggesting myocardial changes occurring after a metabolic crisis, which improved during the convalescent period. DECM was useful for the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in PA.Entities:
