Patients present with pulmonary symptoms, and diagnosis may be ellusive. Pulmonary arterial wedge angiography is the gold standard with which to achieve diagnosis, and surgical intervention is often required for symptomatic patients.

We conclude that the heterogeneous nature of the cardiac hypertrophy in this syndrome can be considered and managed as the sum of a diffuse hypertrophy accessible to beta-blockade, and an asymmetric hypertrophy accessible to surgical myomectomy.

In such patients, myocardial bridging is the most frequent encountered coronary arterial anomaly. Patients may, however, on occasion, present with other much rarer malformations of the coronary arteries. Duplication of the right coronary artery is a very rare anomaly. We have now encountered a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in whom we found myocardial bridging of the anterior interventricular coronary artery and duplication of the right coronary artery. To the best of our knowledge, this association has not previously been described.

Over the last few years, an increasing interest on these fatty acids has been shown because of their role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. To date, major scientific associations strongly recommend consuming a low intake of trans fatty acids for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, but data on the consumption of these fatty acids in the general population are still lacking.

Sternal closure itself often causes haemodynamic and ventilatory instability that cannot be entirely assessed by standard monitoring means. Therefore, we used transpulmonary thermodilution technique for an exact evaluation of the haemodynamic changes.

It can also provide information on prognostic factors. In patients with congenitally malformed hearts, stress imaging is used to determine contractile reserve, abnormalities of mural motion, and global systolic function, but also to assess diastolic and vascular function. In most of these patients, stress is usually induced using pharmacological agents, mainly dobutamine given in varying doses. The clinic...

Backer, Cardiology in the Young, Volume 19 Supplement S2 , pp 96-99AbstractBackground The so-called Gerbode ventriculo-atrial defect is a rare defect that permits shunting from the left ventricle to the right atrium. It takes 2 forms, either a deficiency of the atrioventricular membranous septum, or shunting initially through a ventricular septal defect, with atrial shunting occurring through a deficiency in the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. In this review, we describe the natural history and outcomes of surgical repair for the variant with shunting through a deficiency at the site of the atrioventricular membranous septum.

Current therapies only delay progression of the cardiac disease or replace the diseased heart with cardiac transplantation. Stem cells represent a recently discovered novel approach to the treatment of cardiac failure that may facilitate the replacement of diseased cardiac tissue and subsequently lead to improved cardiac function and cardiac regeneration.

Several studies have shown a higher incidence of hypertension during daily activities, and during exercise, in patients after surgical correction of coarctation. To the best of our knowledge, however, no data exists concerning haemodynamics, the response of arterial pressures, and the effects of medications for lowering blood pressure during exercise or during daily activities.

To characterize the response of the patients undergoing stenting of the patent arterial duct, we harvested samples of vascular tissue during surgical repair. Histological analysis of explanted ducts confirmed the patency of the ducts immediately after birth. As expected, a previously unstented duct that was examined 7 months after birth had become closed and ligamentous.

Familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia results when both the alleles have the defective mutation. It is characterized by cutaneous and tendinous xanthomas, premature corneal arcing, and is associated with an increased risk of coronary arterial disease. It is also seriously underdiagnosed, resulting in delayed treatment.

A retrospective review showed that, over the period from 2001 through 2007, epicardial ventricular pacemakers had been placed in 88 patients. In 6 of these, we had placed 2 ventricular leads, their median weight being 8.0 kilograms, with a range from 4.2 to 31.8 kilograms. Fracture of a lead occurred in 1 of the patients (17%) 8 months after placement, requiring reprogramming to pace from the atrial port. This possibility avoided the need for repeated emergent surgery.

Bostan, Ergün Cil, Cardiology in the Young, Volume 19 Issue 02 , pp 220-222AbstractAnomalous origin of the anterior descending coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk is very rare. We suspected such anomalous origin in a boy aged 2.5 years owing to the echocardiographic demonstration of mitral regurgitation and abnormal diastolic flow in the ventricular septum. The diagnosis was confirmed by angiography. The anomalous artery was successfully reimplanted into the aorta.

Use of a magnetically navigated catheter made it possible to create an electro-anatomical map of both atriums using a retrograde approach. It then proved possible to ablate successfully the tachycardia in the left atrium thanks to the unique capabilities of the magnetic navigation system.

Although percutaneous closure is more difficult in this setting, because of the risk of traumatising the fragile tissues, it can safely be performed. In our case, it produced a decrease in the size of the aneurysm, and permitted us to delay endovascular repair of the thoracic aorta.

Michalak, Andrzej Sysa, Cardiology in the Young, Volume 19 Issue 02 , pp 206-208AbstractFollowing a Glenn procedure, a stent was implanted into the pulmonary artery to relieve stenosis. After the procedure, the patient developed bradycardia and became asystolic. Resuscitation was successful following cardiac massage, but subsequent catheterization revealed the stent to be broken in two, with shift of the distal fragment. The two parts were stabilized and connected by implantation of an additional CP stent.

We hypothesized that addition of fibroblast growth factor-2, a factor previously shown to stimulate division of the embryonic myocytes, to the left ventricular myocardium in an experimental model of left heart hypoplasia created in the chicken would attenuate phenotypic severity by increasing cellular proliferation. We have established an effective mode of delivery of fibroblast growth factor-2 to the chick embryonic left ventricular myocardium by using adenovirus vectors, which was more efficient and better tolerated than direct injection of recombinant fibr...

Parents gratefully pursue life-saving options on behalf of their children, despite the risks to the life of their child, and uncertainty about outcomes. Little is known about how mothers and fathers experience parenting a child whose new state as a survivor may include less than optimal developmental sequels.

Evans, Cardiology in the Young, Volume 19 Issue 02 , pp 119-128AbstractCreating eponyms for surgical procedures or medical discoveries can be a simple objective process of attaching names of innovators. Some eponyms, however, have a controversial history. Undertaking the first systemic-to-pulmonary arterial shunt required the combined efforts of Helen Taussig, Vivien Thomas, and Alfred Blalock. In this review, I attempt to look beyond the mechanics of attributing the eponym to the larger social history surrounding the term.
