Özet
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a rare paediatric myocardial disorder causing diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic function. We report a 14-year-old girl with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy and recurrent systemic thromboemboli (stroke, limb ischaemia, renal infarction, and intracardiac thrombi) despite sinus rhythm. Anticoagulation resolved thrombi. She is currently awaiting heart transplantation. Early recognition, prompt anticoagulation, genetic evaluation, and consideration for transplantation are essential to optimise outcomes.
