We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a history of bilateral hearing impairment, who developed mitochondrial cardiomyopathy after chemotherapy. The patient underwent postoperative cisplatin chemotherapy after the surgical treatment of cervical cancer. The systolic function of her left ventricle decreased significantly. A tissue examination of the left ventricle revealed mitochondrial cardiomyopathy. Genetic testing revealed mutations in mitochondrial 3,243 A→G. Nine hundred fifty-five individual mutations were identified by next-generation sequencing. Since cardiovascular complications are the second leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cancer treatment, mitochondrial cardiomyopathy should be considered a potential cause of heart failure.
