    Author: González MP, Suárez L, Camarero C, Escobar H.
    Journal: An Esp Pediatr; 1987 Nov; 27(5):382-4. PubMed ID: 3439662.
    Abstract:
    We describe the cases of two patients of 9 and 15 months of age who presented episodes of congestive heart failure at the age of 9 and 10 months respectively and who were diagnosed of cystic fibrosis. Death occurred during the first year after diagnosis due to heart failure. Necroscopic study showed pancreatic affectation and heart lesions consisting in areas of myocardial fibrosis and necrosis. We discuss the different hypotheses relating pancreatic affectation to myocardial fibrosis.
