{Abstract}: Clinical evidence demonstrates that patients with telomere biology disorders, such as dyskeratosis congenita, are more prone to coronary artery disease. We present the case of a 43-year-old female diagnosed with dyskeratosis congenita with critical cardiovascular disease. She underwent coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) with improvement of her cardiac function. Although this is a rare genetic disease, further studies are warranted to investigate the underlying pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease in patients with dyskeratosis congenita.
