Abstract
A case of Kugelberg-Welander disease with echocardiographic evidence of mitral and tricuspid valve prolapse, in the contest of a cardiomyopathy that might be pathogenically related to the neurologic disease is reported.
Sommario
Viene presentato un caso di malattia di K-W reperti ecocardiografici di prolasso delle valvole mitrale e tricuspide nell'ambito di una cardiomiopatia che potrebbe essere patogeneticamente correlata alla malattia neurologica.
