Abstract
We report a case of dilated myocardiopathy with ascites and cardiac dysfunction detected at 20 weeks’ gestation. Baby was born at 33 weeks and 6 days, weighing 2530g, delivered by cesarean section and admitted to NICU. Postnatal echocardiography confirmed biventricular severe dysfunction, need of ventilatory support, vasoactive drugs, and prostaglandins. He was investigated for metabolic, infectious, and viral diseases with no positive results. After 6 weeks, he was transferred to a transplant center. Exome sequence showed a heterozygous mutation in the MYH7 gene (OMIN-160760.0028).
