Abstract

McLeod's syndrome (MLS) is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the XK gene with neurological manifestations as well as cardiomyopathy. This is a case of acute exacerbation of heart failure in a 44-year-old White male with a confirmed diagnosis of MLS, which was managed with guideline-directed medical therapy and placement of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator with recovery in ejection fraction.
