Abstract:
:Progeria, also known as Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome, is an extremely rare condition originally described by Hutchinson in 1886. Death results from cardiac complications in the majority of cases and usually occurs at an average age of fourteen years. We recently experienced a patient with progeria who died suddenly after symptomatic improvement with conservative treatment. A Doppler and two-dimensional echocardiographic study revealed an enlarged and hypertrophied left ventricle with reduced global systolic function and senile aortic calcific stenosis (peak systolic pressure gradient: 50 mmHg) with a moderate degree of aortic regurgitation. Doppler findings of restrictive hemodynamic suggest severe left ventricular dysfunction due to multiple influences from the aging process, coronary artery and valvular heart disease.
