Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome Association with Nondilated Cardiomyopathy
Abstract Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS), a genetically inherited collagen defect, results in altered function of different organs such as joint hyper-mobility and skin laxity. It also affects the cardiovascular, immune, autonomic nerves, and gastrointestinal systems. This paper presents the report of a patient with increased joint flexibility and palpitations. Clinical evaluation revealed a diagnosis of EDS and nondilated cardiomyopathy.
