Treatment of Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (Without Dilated Cardiomyopathy)
This protocol addresses the management of Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) in patients presenting with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the absence of dilated cardiomyopathy — a clinically distinct cardiac phenotype that shapes the treatment approach.
Clinical Scenario
The patient has confirmed GSD IV with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and no concurrent dilated cardiomyopathy. This specific cardiac presentation defines the therapeutic context and influences the choice of intervention.
Treatment Approach
When cardiomyopathy in GSD IV proves refractory to medical management, a surgical intervention may be considered as the next step in care.
