Pediatric Cardiomyopathies.
Pediatric cardiomyopathies are rare diseases with an annual incidence of 1.1 to 1.5 per 100 000. Dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies are the most common; restrictive, noncompaction, and mixed cardiomyopathies occur infrequently; and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is rare. Pediatric cardiomyopathies can result from coronary artery abnormalities, tachyarrhythmias, exposure ...
متن کاملDemystifying the Pediatric Cardiomyopathies
Cardiomyopathy presenting in the pre-adolescent differs significantly in possible causes, clinical expression and prognosis from that occurring in the adolescent or adult[1, 2]. Even within the pre-adolescent age group cardiomyopathy has different clinical manifestations and management concerns at different developmental stages: fetal, neonatal, early childhood and late childhood[3-5]. The etio...
متن کاملBeta-Blockers in Pediatric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathies
UNLABELLED Congestive cardiac failure accounts for 36% of childhood deaths in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and in infants with heart failure symptoms before two years of age, the mortality is extremely high unless treatment with beta-receptor antagonists is instituted. The mechanism of heart failure is not systolic dysfunction, but rather extreme diastolic dysfunction leading to high filling pr...
متن کاملPediatric Cardiomyopathies — Pathophysiology and Diagnostic Workup
Pediatric cardiomyopathies are a group of conditions that are characterized by ventricular dilatation as seen in dilated cardiomyopathy or ventricular constriction as seen with restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis. Patients might develop congestive heart failure. Echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging are the main diagnostic modalities for cardiomyopathies in childr...
متن کاملToxic cardiomyopathies.
Examples of toxic cardiomyopathies of various characteristics are presented. Daunomycin and doxorubicin, antineoplastic drugs, cause multifocal cardiomyopathies and intractable heart failure by cardiotoxic mechanisms; these effects are delayed and related to the cumulative dose. Cobalt caused diffuse vacuolar cardiomyopathy in chronic beer drinkers. The development of fulminant heart failure wa...
