Neurofibromatosis type 1 and cardiac manifestations.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE Cardiac manifestations of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) may include hypertension, congenital heart disease, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The aim of this study was to evaluate cardiac abnormalities in patients with NF1. METHODS Sixty-five NF1 patients (mean age: 9±4.48 years) were retrospectively studied. Standard electrocardiography and echocardiography were performed in all patients. RESULTS Cardiac abnormalities were found in 11 of the 65 patients (15.3%). Five patients had mitral valve regurgitation, 2 patients had secundum atrial septal defect, 1 patient had pulmonary valvular stenosis, 1 patient had ventricular septal defect, 1 patient had tricuspid valve regurgitation, and 1 patient had aortic valve regurgitation. CONCLUSION Cardiac abnormalities have potential long-term hemodynamic consequences that justify an early diagnosis. Thus, for any patient with NF1, a cardiologic assessment is mandatory at the time of diagnosis and with regular follow-up intervals.
