Abstract
We report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy-like hypertensive cardiomyopathy (HTN-CM) with polycystic kidney disease without family history when a 3-month-old boy developed bacteraemia secondary to a urinary tract infection. He was later confirmed as having autosomal recessive inheritance due to the proven PKHD1 gene mutation. The treatment consisted mainly of antihypertensive and anti-heart failure therapies and he was discharged on the 131st day. To prevent the development of heart failure in patients with HTN-CM due to autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), it is important to improve the fetal diagnosis rate of ARPKD, detect hypertension early, and strictly control the blood pressure after birth.
期刊介绍:
Cardiology in the Young is devoted to cardiovascular issues affecting the young, and the older patient suffering the sequels of congenital heart disease, or other cardiac diseases acquired in childhood. The journal serves the interests of all professionals concerned with these topics. By design, the journal is international and multidisciplinary in its approach, and members of the editorial board take an active role in the its mission, helping to make it the essential journal in paediatric cardiology. All aspects of paediatric cardiology are covered within the journal. The content includes original articles, brief reports, editorials, reviews, and papers devoted to continuing professional development.
