ABSTRACT: Background
TANGO2 deficiency disorder (TDD) is an autosomal recessive disease associated with metabolic crisis, lethal cardiac arrhythmias, and cardiomyopathy. Data regarding treatment, management, and outcomes of cardiac manifestations of TDD are lacking.Objective
The purpose of this study was to describe TDD-related cardiac crises.Methods
Retrospective multicenter chart review was made of TDD patients admitted with cardiac crises, defined as development of ventricular tachycardia (VT), cardiomyopathy, or cardiac arrest during metabolic crises.Results
Twenty-seven children were admitted for 43 cardiac crises (median age 6.4 years; interquartile range [IQR] 2.4-9.8 years) at 14 centers. During crisis, QTc prolongation occurred in all (median 547 ms; IQR 504-600 ms) and a type I Brugada pattern in 8 (26%). Arrhythmias included VT in 21 (78%), supraventricular tachycardia in 3 (11%), and heart block in 1 (4%). Nineteen patients (70%) developed cardiomyopathy, and 20 (74%) experienced a cardiac arrest. There were 10 deaths (37%), 6 related to arrhythmias. In 5 patients, recalcitrant VT occurred despite use of antiarrhythmic drugs. In 6 patients, arrhythmias were controlled after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support; 5 of these patients survived. Among 10 patients who survived VT without ECMO, successful treatment included intravenous magnesium, isoproterenol, and atrial pacing in multiple cases and verapamil in 1 patient. Initiation of feeds seemed to decrease VT events.Conclusion
TDD-related cardiac crises are associated with a high risk of arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrest, and death. Although further studies are needed, early recognition and appropriate treatment are critical. Acutely, intravenous magnesium, isoproterenol, atrial pacing, and ECMO as a last resort seem to be the best current treatment options, and early initiation of feeds may prevent VT events.
