Electrocardiography findings and clinical presentation in Ebstein's anomaly.

ABSTRACT: Ebstein's anomaly is a congenital malformation characterised by tricuspid valve pathology with right heart enlargement. Cases of Ebstein's anomaly can vary widely in severity, anatomy and presentation. In this article, we presented three cases of Ebstein's anomaly and discussed the presentation as well as electrocardiographic (ECG) changes. Patients may first present to their primary care physicians with cardiac symptoms such as reduced effort tolerance together with an abnormal ECG. ECG changes suggestive of right heart enlargement are important in the initial consideration and eventual formal diagnosis of the condition.

Endomyocardial fibrosis mimicking Ebstein's anomaly: a diagnostic challenge.

Project description:Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare disease that is seen most commonly in tropical countries. It usually presents with characteristics of right-heart failure. Herein, we report the case of a 14-year-old adolescent boy who experienced endomyocardial fibrosis. Upon transthoracic echocardiography, the condition was mistakenly diagnosed as Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve. Sixteen months after undergoing tricuspid annuloplasty and receiving a bidirectional Glenn shunt, the patient showed no echocardiographic evidence of valvular regurgitation. We discuss imaging and surgical techniques that enable the diagnosis and treatment of endomyocardial fibrosis.

Antenatal Diagnosis of a Partial Atrioventricular Canal with Ebstein's Anomaly.

Project description:The simultaneous occurrence of an atrioventricular canal defect (AVCD) and Ebstein's anomaly is extremely rare, occurring in less than 0.5% of all patients with AVCD. Only 22 cases are described in the literature. This patient's antenatal diagnosis of both Ebstein's anomaly and partial AVCD was made at 25 weeks of gestation. The delivery was organized in a tertiary center. The initial neonatal course was difficult but with adequate treatment, a rapid improvement allowed for a gap of almost 2 years before a complete surgical repair including a cone tricuspid plasty. To our knowledge, this is the first case of antenatal diagnosis, with carefully tailored delivery, neonatal care and subsequent follow-up before indication for successful surgery.

Postoperative persistent diastolic dyssynchronous expansion in patients with Ebstein's anomaly.

Project description:In Ebstein's anomaly, maximal expansion in the atrialized right ventricle (RV) occurs during early diastole, whereas that of the functional RV occurs in late diastole, resulting in diastolic dyssynchronous expansion (DSE). We quantitatively assessed DSE and identified preoperative factors correlated with persistent DSE after surgery. Seventeen patients diagnosed with Ebstein's anomaly in whom transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images available were retrospectively analyzed for quantitative DSE assessment and 10 patients who underwent surgery and postoperative TTE available were additionally analyzed for postoperative DSE. Severity of DSE was assessed by the time difference of maximal expansion between the atrialized and functional RV divided by the cardiac cycle length × 100 ("DSE index"). Relations between DSE and, clinical, electrophysiologic parameters and the severity of tricuspid valve (TV) tethering (the RV length / tethering height during diastole: "Tethering index") were assessed. In total patients, median DSE index and tethering index were 30.3 and 2.1 respectively, and the DSE index was correlated with tethering index (rs = 0.664, P = 0.004). In 10 patients who underwent surgery, this association remained after surgery and at 2-year follow up. Tethering index ≥2.5 separated patients with and without persistent DSE. In conclusion, DSE exists in Ebstein's anomaly. DSE index is related to the tethering index and DSE persists postoperatively if tethering index ≥ 2.5. As the persistent DSE might possibly impede the optimal recovery of RV function after surgery, severity of TV tethering should take into account in considering surgery.

A Systematic Review of Ebstein's Anomaly with Left Ventricular Noncompaction.

Project description:Traditional definitions of Ebstein's anomaly (EA) and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC), two rare congenital heart defects (CHDs), confine disease to either the right or left heart, respectively. Around 15-29% of patients with EA, which has a prevalence of 1 in 20,000 live births, commonly manifest with LVNC. While individual EA or LVNC literature is extensive, relatively little discussion is devoted to the joint appearance of EA and LVNC (EA/LVNC), which poses a higher risk of poor clinical outcomes. We queried PubMed, Medline, and Web of Science for all peer-reviewed publications from inception to February 2022 that discuss EA/LVNC and found 58 unique articles written in English. Here, we summarize and extrapolate commonalities in clinical and genetic understanding of EA/LVNC to date. We additionally postulate involvement of shared developmental pathways that may lead to this combined disease. Anatomical variation in EA/LVNC encompasses characteristics of both CHDs, including tricuspid valve displacement, right heart dilatation, and left ventricular trabeculation, and dictates clinical presentation in both age and severity. Disease treatment is non-specific, ranging from symptomatic management to invasive surgery. Apart from a few variant associations, mainly in sarcomeric genes MYH7 and TPM1, the genetic etiology and pathogenesis of EA/LVNC remain largely unknown.

Image to Fit the Clinical Picture: Point-of-care Ultrasound Assessment of Ebstein's Anomaly in Peru.

Project description:Ebstein's anomaly is a congenital heart defect that when left untreated can lead to unique physical exam and ultrasound findings. This case describes a patient who presented with dyspnea and was found to have cyanosis, clubbing, and dilation of right-sided chambers on point-of-care ultrasound. The series of images highlights findings in late-stage Ebstein's anomaly and serves as a springboard for the discussion of the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this rare congenital heart disease.

Heterozygous nonsense variants in laminin subunit 3α resulting in Ebstein's anomaly.

Project description:Ebstein's anomaly is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by tricuspid valve downward displacement and is associated with additional cardiac phenotypes such as left ventricle non-compaction. The genetic basis of Ebstein's anomaly has yet to be fully elucidated, although several genes (e.g., NKX2-5, MYH7, TPM1, and FLNA) may contribute to Ebstein's anomaly. Here, in two Ebstein's anomaly families (a three-generation family and a trio), we identified independent heterozygous nonsense variants in laminin subunit 3 α (LAMA3), cosegregated with phenotypes in families with reduced penetrance. Furthermore, knocking out Lama3 in mice revealed that haploinsufficiency of Lama3 led to Ebstein's malformation of the tricuspid valve and an abnormal basement membrane structure. In conclusion, we identified a novel gene-disease association of LAMA3 implicated in Ebstein's anomaly, and the findings extended our understanding of the role of the extracellular matrix in Ebstein's anomaly etiology.
