Abstract

Clinical presentation of Mitochondrial disease is wide due to different organs involved in it. When skeletal muscle is affected, the term mitochondrial myopathy is used. Exercise limitation is among symptoms affecting patients with myopathy. In approaching dyspnea Establishing an accurate diagnosis is essential because treatment depends on the underlying condition. The case we report is a patient with chronic dyspnea in whom evaluated through cardiopulmonary exercise test and metabolic myopathy was identified.

Keywords: Mitochondrial Disease; Dyspnea; Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET)
