Case History of a Novel Treatment Approach for Congenital Cardiomyopathy due to Carnitine Transporter Deficiency by Arun Mukherjee*, Vinod Sharma, Indrajit Neil Roy and Meena Gupta in Degenerative Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities
This is a case study of a novel experimental therapy approach in a rare
treatment non-responsive potentially fatal Carnitine Transporter Deficiency Congenital Cardiomyopathy. The child's LVEF was down to about
24% at presentation. As a last resort, we tried out a new
multidisciplinary therapy approach. It restored his treatment response
and raised his LVEF to a persistent level of 80 to 84% as followed up
for last two years. Three of his similarly affected siblings: two
brothers and one sister, had earlier succumbed in spite of optimum
Levo-Carnitine supplement (the only approved treatment) as provided by
one of the most prestigious Medical Institutes of his country
