Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is an uncommon form of cardiomyopathy and is characterized by impaired diastolic filling of the ventricles due to increased myocardial stiffness and a normal ventricular systolic functions. In India, RCM is frequently observed in the young and endemic endomyocardial diseases are seen in a significant number of cases. RCM is the least common of all the cardiomyopathies among pediatric patients. RCM has a poor prognosis and commonly requires a cardiac transplant.
We are reporting here a case of seven-year-old female child presenting with recurrent chest infections and congestive heart failure since early childhood.
