Underdiagnosed Roifman syndrome manifested as non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy: a case report.

ABSTRACT: Roifman syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by growth retardation, cognitive delay, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, immunodeficiency, and retinal dystrophy. However, very rarely, with only one case reported to date, a patient with Roifman syndrome may develop cardiomyopathy in their lifetime. We reported a case with underdiagnosed Roifman syndrome confirmed by whole genome sequencing, manifested as non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, which has broadened the association between non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy and the genetic disorder Roifman syndrome. We also underscored that cardiomyopathy might be part of the clinical manifestations of Roifman syndrome and the importance of whole genome sequencing for diagnosis, as RNU4ATAC is not targeted by many commercially available exome capture kits.

A case report: extensive myocardial calcification and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy related to past sepsis.

Project description:BackgroundDiffuse myocardial calcification following severe sepsis is a rare complication whose long-term effects are not well-understood.Case summaryA 51-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of worsening dyspnoea on a background of sepsis 9 years prior. His initial echocardiogram showed moderate systolic dysfunction and a mildly dilated left ventricle. Cardiac computed tomography showed signs of mild coronary artery disease without significant stenosis, but the diffuse extensive left ventricular (LV) mid-myocardial calcification was visible. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed diffuse extensive LV mid-myocardial late gadolinium enhancement in keeping with the calcification. He was diagnosed with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy. He was commenced on appropriate anti-failure medical therapy, maintains New York Heart Association functional class II functional status, and has received a prophylactic implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.DiscussionDiffuse myocardial calcification might be associated with long-term development of non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy. The benefit of monitoring such patients for long-term effects is not routine, but should be considered.

Case report: arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse syndrome-are risk factors underdiagnosed?

Project description:Arrhythmic mitral valve prolapse syndrome (ARMV) is a recognized but underdiagnosed disease pattern. Risk factors for ARMV are established but not very well known, and the association of the structural abnormality with ventricular arrhythmias is incompletely understood. Here, we present the case of a young man who presented at our hospital for radiofrequency catheter ablation and mitral valve surgery after two episodes of survived sudden cardiac arrest. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that were used. We shine light on the risk factors for ARMV and why early identification is crucial. We address the topic of primary prevention and its limitations. Finally, we discuss different treatment modalities for patients with ARMV. More awareness for ARMV is crucial. A consensus statement on clinical management exists, but scientific gaps in prospective data for primary prevention need to be filled and there is a need for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of ARMV.

A case report of heart transplant for ischaemic cardiomyopathy from lupus coronary vasculitis.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary vasculitis is a rare, life-threatening complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Case summaryA 23-year-old woman with SLE presented with typical angina and worsening dyspnoea on exertion. Coronary angiography revealed severe triple vessel disease with a 'string of beads' appearance classic for coronary vasculitis. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed ejection fraction of 25-30% with a severely hypokinetic distal septum and distal anterior wall and an akinetic apical wall. Despite vasculitis treatment with cyclophosphamide and pulse-dose steroids, her coronary vasculitis did not improve. She was refractory to anti-anginal and guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure and successfully underwent orthotopic heart transplant (OHT).DiscussionThis is the first reported case of OHT in the case of SLE coronary vasculitis. Chronic SLE coronary vasculitis is caused by lymphocyic infiltration leading to inflammation and fibrosis of the major epicardial coronary arteries but can be successfully managed with OHT when refractory to medical SLE and heart failure therapies. It can affect patients of all ages with SLE, emphasizing the importance of thorough history taking and clinical evaluation in young patients presenting with cardiac symptoms to establish an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan.

ACUM, an easily underdiagnosed cause of dysmenorrhea-A case report.

Project description:This report described three cases with long-term severe dysmenorrhea, and these cases were referred to our department for medical help. The diagnosis of accessory cavitated uterine malformation (ACUM) was considered based on symptoms and ultrasound/MRI findings. Moreover, a combined approach involving hysteroscopic surgery and laparoscopic surgery was undertaken, and no complications occurred during surgery and in the post-operative period. It is important to consider ACUM in patients with severe dysmenorrhea that does not respond to medical management. Surgery is the most effective treatment for this anomaly.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy induced by acute coronary syndrome: A case report.

Project description:Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) can be provoked by various triggers. It should be differentiated from acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Herein, we report a case of TC triggered by ACS. An 80-year-old woman was referred to the emergency room because of prolonged chest pain and ST-segment elevations. Echocardiography demonstrated left ventricular apical ballooning, findings suggestive of TC rather than ACS. Emergency coronary angiography revealed severe stenosis of the first diagonal branch of the left anterior descending coronary artery with distal flow delay. Recanalization of the diagonal branch was achieved by stent implantation and her chest pain was resolved. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed increased signal intensities in the apex and the inner layer of the anterior wall on fat-suppressed, T2-weighted imaging. The present case highlights the importance of recognizing TC in relation to ACS not only as a differential diagnosis but also as a possibly concomitant condition unless clinical features fit one diagnosis.Learning objectiveTakotsubo cardiomyopathy can be provoked by various conditions and differentiated from acute coronary syndrome based on the presence or absence of coronary artery stenosis. Our case highlights the importance of acknowledging that takotsubo cardiomyopathy may be induced by acute coronary syndrome.

Case report of Barth syndrome: a forgotten cause of cardiomyopathy.

Project description:BackgroundBarth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder characterized by clinical features including cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, growth delay, and exercise intolerance. It is often considered to be a paediatric disease, owing to most cases being diagnosed during childhood and mortality being the highest during the first few years of life.Case summaryWe report a case of dilated cardiomyopathy due to BTHS in a 27-year-old adult male patient, who initially presented with lightheadedness, dyspnoea, orthopnoea, and bilateral lower extremity oedema. Key findings from investigations included leukopenia, prolonged QTc interval, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global enlargement of all heart chambers, patent coronary arteries, and mild pulmonary hypertension. The patient was diuresed to euvolemia and discharged with a LifeVest. Guideline-directed medical therapy was initiated and uptitrated as an outpatient. A repeat echocardiogram 2 years after initial presentation showed marked improvement in LVEF.DiscussionIt is possible that there are adult patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy, which may be attributable to BTHS. In the absence of an obvious underlying cause, with the appropriate historical information, clinical exam, laboratory investigations, and imaging findings, BTHS should be considered as a likely cause of non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy.

Desmoplakin cardiomyopathy: case report.

Project description:BackgroundDesmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy is a distinct form of cardiomyopathy characterized by frequent left ventricular involvement with extensive fibrosis, high arrhythmic risk, and episodes of acute myocardial injury.Case summaryWe are reporting diagnosis and management of a rare case of DSP cardiomyopathy. A patient in his 70s was investigated for mild shortness of breath, recurrent chest infection, and multiple ventricular ectopic. His echocardiogram showed impaired systolic function and found to have 53% ectopic burden with run of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia on 24 h electrocardiogram. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed findings highly suggestive of DSP cardiomyopathy. High-resolution computed tomography chest suggested connective tissue-related interstitial lung disease. The diagnosis of DSP cardiomyopathy was confirmed by genetic testing that demonstrated mutation in DSP protein. The patient had implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation for primary prevention.DiscussionImplantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation should be considered with left ventricular ejection fraction thresholds >35%, particularly in the presence of additional risk factors.

Combined neurogenic pulmonary oedema and atypical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with ischaemic stroke: a unique case report.

Project description:BackgroundNeurogenic pulmonary oedema (NPO) and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy are rare complications of ischaemic stroke. They are considered to be due to an excess catecholamine release after sympathetic nervous stimulation following stroke onset. Among the different types of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, apical ballooning is recognized as the typical form, but three atypical patterns have been described (midventricular, basal, and focal) which are more commonly observed in patients with neurological disorders.Case summaryA 78-year-old woman was treated with intravenous alteplase and underwent mechanical thrombectomy for ischaemic stroke. During the procedure, her respiratory condition quickly worsened requiring invasive mechanical ventilation because of a wide and persistent reduction of the inspiratory oxygen fraction/arterial partial oxygen pressure ratio. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed moderate left ventricular systolic dysfunction with akinesis of the septal-apical and inferior-apical segments. Coronary angiography excluded obstructive lesions and/or evidence of acute plaque rupture. Ventriculography confirmed akinesis/dyskinesis of the inferior segment of the left ventricular apex associated with normal kinesis of the remaining segments. Chest X-ray revealed an infiltrative shadow on both lungs. After 24 h from NPO onset, her respiratory function improved and she was finally discharged on Day 7 without neurological defects. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction was reversible and ejection fraction normalized in 3 months.DiscussionIt is a very rare case of simultaneous NPO and Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following ischaemic stroke. Moreover, it is unique in that it is the first observation of NPO associated with an atypical pattern of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, which is more frequent in patients with neurological disorders. A rapid recognition and treatment are essential for patient survival.

Mitochondrial function and coronary flow reserve improvement after autologous myoblast patch transplantation for ischaemic cardiomyopathy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAutologous myoblast patch (AMP) transplantation has resulted in good clinical outcomes for end-stage ischaemic cardiomyopathy, but the mechanisms behind them are unclear. Herein, we report the relationship between mitochondrial function and coronary flow reserve (CFR) before and after AMP transplantation.Case summaryThe patient was a 73-year-old man who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). At that time, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 53%, but it declined to 25% after 6 years. He was diagnosed with ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Coronary flow reserve in NH3-positron emission tomography (NH3-PET) was impaired to 1.69. In Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphy, the washout rate (WR) was 17%, suggestive of impaired mitochondrial function. He was not a candidate for heart transplantation, and we performed AMP transplantation 6 years after CABG. One year after AMP transplantation, LVEF, CFR, and Tc-99m MIBI WR improved to 36%, 2.07, and 7%, respectively. The Tc-99m MIBI WR improved especially in the anterolateral region, and the CFR increased in almost all segments.DiscussionIn this case, AMP transplantation for ICM improved cardiac function, CFR, and mitochondrial function. The mitochondrial transfer from the transplanted myoblasts to the damaged myocardium may have contributed to the mitochondrial function improvement. This probably induced myocardial energy metabolism recovery and decreased oxygen demand. AMP transplantation also has the potential to improve microvascular dysfunction, due to angiogenesis induction. These effects can lead to improved prognoses of ICM after AMP transplantation, highlighting its potential to cure refractory heart failure.
