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 https://crimsonpublishers....
