Abstract

Cardiomyopathy in newborn period is very rare. Cardiomyopathy with hepatic involvement causes early death. We report a case of isolated hepatic hemosiderosis with associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) without any evidence of cardiac hemosiderosis in a 50-day-old infant who had been symptomatic since birth.
