title: [A rare cause of cardiomyopathy in childhood: propionic acidosis. Three case reports].
abstract: Dilated cardiomyopathy is a rare and unrecognised complication of propionic acidosis. It usually progresses to chronic cardiac failure with a poor prognosis. The authors report three cases of cardiomyopathy due to this condition. One of the children underwent liver transplantation which cured the cardiac complication.
