Dilated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy caused by two different sarcomere mutations, treated with surgical left ventricular reconstruction and cardiac resynchronization therapy with a defibrillator.

We herein report the case of a 61-year-old woman with dilated phase of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (D-HCM) who had been diagnosed with HCM 17 years previously. On admission, her left ventricle (LV) had marked dilation, dyssynchrony with diffuse severe hypokinesis, and ventricular tachycardia. She had two mutations in the cardiac myosin binding protein-C gene, which were suspected to be the causes of the D-HCM.
