Left ventricular non-compaction in a patient with ankylosing.

ABSTRACT: A 58 years old male with a long-standing history of HLA-B27 positive ankylosing spondylitis presented with increasing fatigue and dyspnea on exertion. He had left ventricular dysfunction and enlargement, flail right coronary leaflet of aortic valve with severe eccentric aortic insufficiency along with left ventricular non-compaction in echocardiography. The most common cardiac manifestations of ankylosing spondylitis are aortic insufficiency and conduction disturbances. Involvement of myocardium, in the form of dilated cardiomyopathy and restrictive cardiomyopathy, has also been reported. This case presents a very rare association of ankylosing spondylitis with non-compaction cardiomyopathy.

Left Ventricular Non-compaction with Multiple Ventricular Septal Defects.

Project description:Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a congenital cardiomyopathy characterized by deep ventricular trabeculations thought to be due to an arrest of myocardial morphogenesis. Integration of various cardiac imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging help in the diagnosis of this rare clinical entity. We describe a child with rare variant of LVNC with predominant involvement of interventricular septum resulting in multiple ventricular septal defects.

Characterization of Left Ventricular Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Left ventricle non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) has gained great interest in recent years, being one of the most controversial cardiomyopathies. There are several open debates, not only about its genetic heterogeneity, or about the possibility to be an acquired cardiomyopathy, but also about its possible overdiagnosis based on imaging techniques. In order to better understand this entity, we identified 38 LVNC patients diagnosed by cardiac MRI (CMRI) or anatomopathological study that could underwent NGS-sequencing and clinical study. Anatomopathological exam was performed in eight available LVNC hearts. The genetic yield was 34.2%. Patients with negative genetic testing had better left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) or it showed a tendency to improve in follow-up, and a possible trigger factor for LVNC was identified in 1/3 of them. Nonetheless, cerebrovascular accidents occurred in similar proportions in both groups. We conclude that in LVNC there seem to be different ways to achieve the same final phenotype. Genetic testing has a good genetic yield and provides valuable information. LVNC without an underlying genetic cause may have a better prognosis in terms of LVEF evolution. However, anticoagulation to prevent cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be carefully evaluated in all patients. Larger series with pathologic examination are needed to help better understand this entity.

Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy associated with the PRKAG2 mutation.

Project description:Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is one of the most common inherited cardiovascular diseases. The genetic backgrounds of most LVNC patients are not fully understood. We collected clinical data, family histories, and blood samples and performed genetic analysis using next-generation sequencing (NGS) from a Chinese family of 15 subjects. Clinically LVNC affected subjects showed marked cardiac phenotype heterogeneity. We found that these subjects with LVNC carried a missense heterozygous genetic mutation c.905G>A (p.R302Q) in γ2 subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (PRKAG2) gene through NGS. Individuals without this mutation showed no symptoms or cardiac structural abnormalities related to LVNC. One subject was the victim of sudden cardiac death. To sum up, PRKAG2 mutation c.905G>A (p.R302Q) caused familial LVNC. Our results described a potentially pathogenic mutation associated with LVNC, which may further extend the spectrum of LVNC phenotypes related to PRKAG2 gene mutations.

Left ventricular non-compaction presenting with heart failure and intramural thrombus.

Project description:Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare disorder caused by the arrest of myocardial compaction during embryogenesis, leading to a non-compacted endocardial layer with marked trabeculations. The diagnosis is primarily based on echocardiographic demonstration of a spongy myocardium. Here, we present a young male with LVNC presenting with left heart failure and multiple left ventricular thrombi. We also review the presentation, diagnosis and management of this condition.

Left ventricular non-compaction: clinical features and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.

Project description:BACKGROUND: It is apparent that despite lack of family history, patients with the morphological characteristics of left ventricular non-compaction develop arrhythmias, thrombo-embolism and left ventricular dysfunction. METHODS: Forty two patients, aged 48.7 +/- 2.3 yrs (mean +/- SEM) underwent cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for the quantification of left ventricular volumes and extent of non-compacted (NC) myocardium. The latter was quantified using planimetry on the two-chamber long axis LV view (NC area). The patients included those referred specifically for CMR to investigate suspected cardiomyopathy, and as such is represents a selected group of patients. RESULTS: At presentation, 50% had dyspnoea, 19% chest pain, 14% palpitations and 5% stroke. Pulmonary embolism had occurred in 7% and brachial artery embolism in 2%. The ECG was abnormal in 81% and atrial fibrillation occurred in 29%. Transthoracic echocardiograms showed features of NC in only 10%. On CMR, patients who presented with dyspnoea had greater left ventricular volumes (both p < 0.0001) and a lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p < 0.0001) than age-matched, healthy controls. In patients without dyspnoea (n = 21), NC area correlated positively with end-diastolic volume (r = 0.52, p = 0.0184) and end-systolic volume (r = 0.56, p = 0.0095), and negatively with EF (r = -0.72, p = 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Left ventricular non-compaction is associated with dysrrhythmias, thromboembolic events, chest pain and LV dysfunction. The inverse correlation between NC area and EF suggests that NC contributes to left ventricular dysfunction.

Diagnostic criteria for left ventricular non-compaction in cardiac computed tomography.

Project description:PurposeLeft ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is characterized by a 2-layered myocardium composed of a noncompacted (NC) and a compacted (C) layer. The echocardiographic NC:C ratio is difficult to assess in many patients. The aim of the study was to assess the value of cardiac computed tomography (CCT) for the diagnosis of LVNC.MethodsIn this prospective controlled study, segmental analysis of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and prospective ECG-triggered CCT was performed in 17 patients with LVNC and 19 healthy controls. In TTE maximal NC and C thickness was measured at enddiastole and endsystole in the segment with most prominent trabeculation in short axis views. In CCT, maximal segmental NC and C thickness was measured during diastole, and NC:C ratio was determined. Spearman's correlation coefficient and receiver operating characteristic curves were calculated.ResultsThe median [IQR] radiation dose was 1.3[1.2-1.5]mSv. The CCT thickness of the C layer was significantly lower in patients with LVNC as compared to controls in the inferolateral, midventricular, lateral-, inferior-, and septal-apical segments. The CCT NC:C ratio differed significantly between LVNC and controls in the inferior-midventricular and all the apical segments. NC:C ratio correlated significantly between TTE and CCT at enddiastole (σ = 0.8) and endsystole (σ = 0.9). Using a CCT NC:C ratio ≥1.8, all LVNC patients could be identified.ConclusionLVNC can be diagnosed with ECG-triggered low-dose CCT and discriminated from normal individuals using a NC:C ratio of ≥1.8 in diastole. There is a very good correlation of NC:C ratio in TTE and CCT.

Myocardial infarction secondary to coronary embolus in a patient with left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary embolism is a rare cause of myocardial infarction (MI). We present a case report which emphasizes the importance of intracoronary imaging in these cases to identify the pathophysiological mechanism of MI.Case summaryA 53-year-old male with no past medical history presented to the hospital with typical angina. Electrocardiogram and serum troponin I level trend confirmed non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography showed no evidence of any obstructive coronary artery disease, but two small thrombi were noted in the distal first obtuse marginal branch. Optical coherence tomography imaging confirmed this finding in absence of any underlying atherosclerotic plaque rupture or erosion. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed the diagnosis of non-compaction cardiomyopathy with severely depressed left ventricular function. Transmural MI was revealed by late gadolinium enhancement in the mid-lateral wall. Based on the pathophysiology of the MI confirmed by intracoronary imaging, antiplatelet medications were discontinued, and the patient was discharged on warfarin. Medical therapy was initiated for his cardiomyopathy. The patient recovered well and was asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up visit.DiscussionIntracoronary imaging plays an important role to supplement coronary angiography to confirm the pathophysiology of MI in coronary embolism cases. This is important as it alters management in these patients.

The pathogenicity of genetic variants previously associated with left ventricular non-compaction.

Project description:Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare cardiomyopathy. Many genetic variants have been associated with LVNC. However, the number of the previous LVNC-associated variants that are common in the background population remains unknown. The aim of this study was to provide an updated list of previously reported LVNC-associated variants with biologic description and investigate the prevalence of LVNC variants in healthy general population to find false-positive LVNC-associated variants.The Human Gene Mutation Database and PubMed were systematically searched to identify all previously reported LVNC-associated variants. Thereafter, the Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) and the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), that both represent the background population, was searched for all variants. Four in silico prediction tools were assessed to determine the functional effects of these variants. The prediction results of those identified in the ESP and ExAC and those not identified in the ESP and ExAC were compared. In 12 genes, 60 LVNC-associated missense/nonsense variants were identified. MYH7 was the predominant gene, encompassing 24 of the 60 LVNC-associated variants. The ESP only harbored nine and ExAC harbored 18 of the 60 LVNC-associated variants. In total, eight out of nine ESP-positive variants overlapped with the 18 variants identified in ExAC database.In this article, we identified 9 ESP-positive and 18 ExAC-positive variants of 60 previously reported LVNC-associated variants, suggesting that these variants are not necessarily the monogenic cause of LVNC.

Myocardial deformation pattern in left ventricular non-compaction: Comparison with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is the most frequent initial presentation of patient with LV noncompaction (NC). Our objectives were to evaluate myocardial contraction properties in patients with LVNC and the relationship of non-compacted segments with the degree of global and regional systolic deformation.We included 50 LVNC with an echocardiography and speckle imaging calculation of peak longitudinal strain (PLS). Each of the 16 LV myocardial segments was defined as NC (ratio NC/compacted layer > 2), borderline (NC/C 0-2) and compacted (NC/C = 0). Basal, median and apical strain values were calculated as the average of segmental strain values. For comparison a group of 50 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) underwent the same measurements.There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups for any conventional LV systolic parameters. A characteristic deformation pattern was observed in LVNC with higher strain values in the LV apical segments (- 12.8 ± 5.9 vs - 10.7 ± 5.7) and an apical-basal ratio (1.52 ± 0.73 vs 1.12 ± 0.42; p < 0.001). There was no correlation between LV function and the degree of NC. Among 726 segments, compacta thickness was thinner in NC vs C segments (6.4 ± 1.4 vs 7.7 ± 1.8 mm; p < 0.05). There was no difference in WMS but regional strain values were significantly higher in NC compared to C segments (- 13.1 ± 6.1 vs - 10.2 ± 6.3; p < 0.05).Compared to DCM, LVNC presented with relatively preserved apical deformation as compared to basal segments. Lower regional deformation values in compacted segments confirm the concept that LVNC is a phenotypic marker of an underlying diffuse cardiomyopathy involving both C and NC myocardium.
