Abstract
Inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) stem from genetic defects affecting enzyme function within specific metabolic pathways, collectively constituting rare conditions with an incidence of less than 1/100,000 births. While IMDs typically manifest with multisystemic symptoms, cardiac manifestations are common, notably hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Additionally, they can lead to dilated or restrictive cardiomyopathy, as well as noncompacted left ventricular cardiomyopathy. Rhythm disturbances such as atrioventricular conduction abnormalities, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and ventricular arrhythmias, along with valvular pathologies and ischemic coronary issues, are also prevalent. This study aims to provide a narrative review of IMDs associated with cardiac involvement, delineating the specific cardiac manifestations of each disorder alongside systemic symptoms pivotal for diagnosis.
