We describe a case of GCM with multiple autoimmune disorders, which recovered by treatment with early cyclosporin-based immunosuppressive therapy under LVAD therapy. The present case suggests the involvement of unknown anti-striational antibodies in the development of GCM in patients with MG and may provide information to guide a novel therapeutic regimen for patients with fulminant GCM requiring mechanical circulatory support.
