Abstract
- Patients with Cushing’s syndrome can rarely present with systolic heart failure as the mainstay feature. In these patients, heart failure is usually secondary to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and not to dilated cardiopathy. We herewith report a patient with Cushing’s syndrome, who presented with systolic ventricular failure secondary to dilated myocardiopathy and signs of proximal myopathy as predominant features. All symptoms regressed after successful treatment. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
