RESUMO

Isolated apical ventricular hypoplasia is an extremely rare congenital heart disease. We describe 2 cases, each affecting a different side, presenting with unique clinical and imaging characteristics not hitherto delineated in the literature.

RESUMO

Background: Patients with end-stage heart failure (HF) and severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) are not eligible for heart transplant due to high mortality risk. Percutaneous interventions as edge-to-edge repair of the mitral/tricuspid valves are a safe and effective therapy as a bridge for transplantation in patients who have contraindications to heart transplantations (HTs). Case summary: A 44-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of infection by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was admitted at the emergency room for exertional dyspnoea. He was diagnosed with a decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation, and high probability of PH. He presented poor response to guided medical treatment, even after implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D). He was listed for a cardiac transplant, but after right catheterization, he was not an ideal candidate for transplantation, so it was decided to undergo percutaneous mitral and tricuspid edge-to-edge repair as a bridge to transplantation. The post-operative course was uneventful, with significant improvement in New York Heart Association functional class. The patient underwent a successful heart transplant 10 months after the procedure. Discussion: In patients with advanced HF due to HIV, HT is an adequate treatment option. When there are functional mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and severe PH, despite optimal treatment according to current guidelines, percutaneous mitral and tricuspid repair therapy appears to be safe and effective for control of severe PH as a bridge measure for cardiac transplantation.

RESUMO

A complete screening was performed in a family after one of its members presented with a sudden cardiac death event. A genetical analysis revealed a mutation which led to a long QT syndrome.
