Sickle Cell Diastolic Cardiomyopathy and Mortality Risk: A Novel Echocardiographic Framework for Prognostic Stratification

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of mortality in sickle cell anemia (SCA) patients. While extensive data have identified diastolic dysfunction (DD) to increase morbidity and mortality, the unique hemodynamic conditions inherent to SCA challenge the current recommendations to assess diastolic function. Thus, there is an urgent

Mitral valve alternans

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 1985
An echogram showing mitral valve alternans was recorded in a patient with advanced cardiomyopathy and pulsus alternans induced by premature ventricular depolarizations. Decreased left ventricular emptying by the weak beat was followed by blunting of the subsequent mitral valve E point, a finding compatible with a significant elevation of left ...

Ocular Findings as the Most Striking Manifestation of a SMAD3 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Loeys‐Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder with variable expressivity. It is a multisystemic condition mainly characterized by a propensity for arterial aneurysms and dissections, skeletal manifestations, hypertelorism, bifid uvula, craniosynostosis, and cutaneous features.

The Behavioral Phenotype and Importance of Multidisciplinary Care in Patients With Sotos Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sotos syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition caused by pathogenic variants in the NSD1 gene on chromosome 5q35. It is characterized by macrosomia, distinctive facial features, and developmental delays. Patients are also reported to have a behavioral phenotype including autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder ...

Maternal Sirolimus Treatment Reverses Cardiac Rhabdomyoma‐Induced Hydrops Fetalis in a Twin Gestation With Tuberous Sclerosis Complex

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiac rhabdomyomas are often the presenting sign of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Prior reports have shown that maternal sirolimus treatment can reduce rhabdomyomas. We used maternal sirolimus to reverse hydrops fetalis due to a massive cardiac rhabdomyoma in a twin gestation.
