Description
Yuting Zou and co-authors published a case report in 2026 about a 32-year-old man with skin thickening and shortness of breath. Ultrasound of his neck and back showed thickened skin, and biopsies confirmed scleredema, a rare disease that hardens the skin for unknown reasons. Heart tests were done at the same time.
The heart showed widespread injury to the left chamber muscle and worsening heart failure, diagnosed as cardiomyopathy tied to the skin disease. Such heart involvement was previously seen mostly in older patients and remains poorly understood. No specific treatment strategy exists for it. The authors present the young patient's case to draw clinical attention to this uncommon pairing and its risks.
