Cardiomyopathy is a feature in the infantile forms of Pompe disease - Indeed, Pompe (1932) reported this condition as 'idiopathic hypertrophy of the heart,' and 'cardiomegalia glycogenica' is a synonym. Slonim et al. (2000) proposed a second, milder subtype of the infantile form. They reported 12 infants who showed less severe cardiomyopathy, absence of left ventricular outflow obstruction, and traces (less than 5%) of residual acid maltase activity; 9 of the 12 had longer survival with assisted ventilation and intubation.Created: 25 Mar 2019, 4:27 p.m.
