摘要
We report the case of a 13-year-old female patient presenting with presyncope and palpitations. Her electrocardiogram revealed an abbreviation of the rate-corrected QT interval with imaging showing significant left ventricular dysfunction. Carnitine levels were measured as part of her diagnostic workup, discovering a rare, reversible cause of short QT syndrome (SQTS) and associated cardiomyopathy-primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) caused by a homozygous mutation in the SLC22A5 gene, leading to an in-frame deletion mutation (NP_003051.1:p.Phe23del) affecting the organic cation transporter 2 (OCTN2) protein. Following the treatment with oral carnitine supplementation, her QT interval returned to within the normal range with significant improvement in left ventricular function.
