N2 - Myotonic dystrophia type I or Steinert's disease is a progressive multisystemic-inherited neuromuscular disease. Higher sensitivity to sedatives, anaesthetic, and neuromuscular blocking agents may result in cardiovascular and respiratory complications. We describe the anaesthesiological and ventilatory measures in a 43-year-old patient with Steinert's disease successfully undergoing cardiac surgery.
