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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:BackgroundDisease progression and heart failure development in Ebstein's Anomaly (EA) of the tricuspid valve is characterized by both right and left ventricular (LV) deterioration. The mechanisms underlying LV dysfunction and their role in heart failure development are incompletely understood. We hypothesized that LV dyssynchrony and impaired torsion and recoil mechanics induced by paradoxical movement of the basal septum may play a role in heart failure development.Methods31 EA patients and 31 matched controls underwent prospective cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). CMR feature tracking (CMR-FT) was performed on apical, midventricular and basal short-axis and 4D-volume analysis was performed using three long-axis views and a short axis cine stack employing dedicated software. Circumferential uniformity ratio estimates (CURE) time-to-peak-based circumferential systolic dyssynchrony index (C-SDI), 4D volume analysis derived SDI (4D-SDI), torsion (Tor) and systolic (sysTR) and diastolic torsion rate (diasTR) were calculated for the LV. QRS duration, brain natriuretic peptide, NYHA and Total R/L-Volume Index (R/L Index) were obtained.ResultsEA patients (31.5 years; controls 31.4 years) had significantly longer QRS duration (123.35 ms ± 26.36 vs. 97.33 ms ± 11.89 p < 0.01) and showed more LV dyssynchrony (4D-SDI 7.60% ± 4.58 vs. 2.54% ± 0.62, p < 0.001; CURE 0.77 ± 0.05 vs. 0.86 ± 0.03, p < 0.001; C-SDI 7.70 ± 3.38 vs. 3.80 ± 0.91, p = 0.001). There were significant associations of LV dyssynchrony with heart failure parameters and QRS duration. Although torsion and recoil mechanics did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) there was an association of torsion and recoil mechanics with dyssynchrony parameters CURE (sysTR r = -0.426; p = 0.017, diasTR r = 0.419; p = 0.019), 4D-SDI (sysTR r = 0.383; p = 0.044) and C-SDI (diasTR r = -0.364; p = 0.044).ConclusionsEA is characterized by LV intra-ventricular dyssynchrony, which is associated with heart failure and disease severity parameters. Markers of dyssynchrony can easily be quantified from CMR-FT, and may have a role in the assessment of altered cardiac function, carrying potential management implications for EA patients.
