Late cardiac involvement of the glycogen storage disease type iiia with massive left ventricular hypertrophy and late gadolinium enhancement

Abstract

Infiltrative cardiomyopathies can originate from a wide range of different genetic and acquired factors and each can manifest with different systemic symptoms. The degree of cardiac abnormalities varies depending on the extent of infiltration and the cause of the infiltration. Heart manifestations include thickening of the ventricular walls, enlargement of the chambers, and disruption of the condisease) is a rare genetic disorder transmitted in an autosomal recessive manner. GSD type IIIa arises from a pathogenic mutation in the AGL gene, resulting in the deently, there is an anomalous buildup of limit dextrin like molecules in the liver, skeletal muscle, and cardiac mus
