Cardiomyopathy associated with a mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome is a rare condition. We report on a child with a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a mitochondrial depletion syndrome who was successfully treated by heart transplantation, given the tissue-specific nature of her mitochondrial disorder.
