Desmin-related restrictive cardiomyopathy

Christiano Pereira Silva et al. Fernando Bacal Luiz Alberto Benvenuti Edimar Alcides Bocchi

Restrictive cardiomyopathies may have different etiologies, among which we can point out storage diseases by accumulation of different materials such as desmin. Desminopathies are uncommon diseases that progress with conduction abnormalities, peripheral myopathies, and ventricular dysfunction. The present report describes a patient with complete atrioventricular block as the initial event; he later developed skeletal muscle alterations and heart failure. The investigation led to the diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy due to desmin accumulation.
