Popis: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) account for approximately 5% of all pediatric cardiomyopathies. Nineteen percent of childhood cardiomyopathy has been reported to have a metabolic cause, which is even higher in infants under 1 year of age (47%). The co-occurrence of congenital cardiomyopathy and congenital skeletal myopathy is uncommon, suggesting a genetic or metabolic defect if found together. More than 40 different IEM involving cardiomyopathy exist, including energetic diseases with fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial respiratory chain defects, organic acidurias, glycogen storage diseases, lysosomal storage disorders, and congenital disorders of glycosylation. It is important to consider this group of disorders in any child with a cardiomyopathy.
