A 69-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital with progressive muscle weakness and dysphagia. She was taking pitavastatin for dyslipidemia. Her serum creatine kinase was 6,300 U/L. Pitavastatin was stopped, but her symptoms deteriorated, and cardiac congestion appeared. A muscle biopsy showed necrotizing myopathy (NM), and anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) antibody was positive. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography showed an abnormal uptake, and magnetic resonance imaging showed abnormal gadolinium enhancement in the left ventricular wall. An endomyocardial biopsy revealed inflammatory cardiomyopathy. Steroid, tacrolimus, and intravenous immunoglobulins were effective against the symptoms. This is the first case of biopsy-proven secondary cardiomyopathy due to anti-SRP-positive NM.
