چکیده
A miocardiopatia em dentes de serra é uma forma rara de displasia ventricular esquerda, com apenas três casos descritos na literatura. O seu fenótipo peculiar, constituído por projeções de miocárdio compacto, levou alguns autores a considerarem-na uma variante da não compactação ventricular esquerda. Apresentamos o caso de um doente do sexo masculino, atualmente com 21 anos, enviado ao nosso serviço ao mês de vida por quadro de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva. Antecedentes familiares irrelevantes para patologia do foro cardiovascular. O ecocardiograma inicial demonstrou dilatação das cavidades esquerdas e disfunção sistólica severa. A investigação etiológica realizada excluiu cardiopatia estrutural e as causas infeciosa, metabólica, genética e neuromuscular. Após o episódio inaugural, o doente manteve seguimento regular em consulta de cardiologia pediátrica.
