Reversible cardiomyopathy in an infant with unrecognized congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

B A Boston1, C DeGroff, C E Hanna, M Reller.   

Abstract

We describe an infant who had a dilated cardiomyopathy and who was later found to have congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The cardiomyopathy resolved after replacement of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid. We believe that glucocorticoid deficiency may have played a direct role in the evolution of this cardiomyopathy.
