JACC Case Rep. 2024 Dec 4;29(23):102809. doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2024.102809.

Abstract

Neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy is a rare genetic syndrome of abnormal intracellular lipolysis leading to lipid droplet accumulation in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Because of variability in clinical presentations, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for diagnosis and treatment.

Keywords: cardiac magnetic resonance; cardiomyopathy; echocardiography; genetic disorders; lipid metabolism disorders; treatment.
