Reported side-effects of tacrolimus, a potent immunosuppressive agent, have not included cardiotoxicity. We describe 5 consecutive paediatric transplant recipients (3 small bowel with or without liver and 2 liver) who received tacrolimus. 2 developed congestive heart failure and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy which resolved after changing to cyclosporin. In the other 3 patients the cardiomyopathy regressed or improved with a lower dose of tacrolimus or after stopping the drug.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
