Myotonic dystrophy is the most severe form of myotonic disorder. Hypothermia or hyperkalemia may cause generalized muscle contraction during heart operations. We successfully repaired an atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis in a patient with myotonic dystrophy using systemic normothermia with continuous normokalemic coronary perfusion. This is the second reported case of a patient with myotonic dystrophy who underwent a cardiac operation.
