Endothelial Damage in Long-Term Survivors of Childhood Cancer Open
Purpose To evaluate the presence of vascular damage in long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and sibling controls, and to evaluate the association between vascular damage parameters and cancer treatment and influence of cardiovascular…

Natural history of ventricular premature contractions in children with a structurally normal heart: does origin matter? Open
Aims Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are thought to be innocent in children with normal hearts, especially if they disappear during exercise. The aim of our study was to study the natural history of PVCs in childhood and whether …

Low-dose anthracyclines in childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL): no cardiac deterioration more than 20 years post-treatment Open
None of the survivors had cardiac abnormalities. Cardiac status of daunorubicin-treated survivors showed no deterioration compared with the previous assessment in 1995. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATION FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: After prolonged follo…

Expanding Spectrum of Human <i>RYR2</i> -Related Disease Open
Background— Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is a disease characterized by ventricular arrhythmias elicited exclusively under adrenergic stress. Additional features include baseline bradycardia and, in some patients, r…

A Single Na <sup>+</sup> Channel Mutation Causing Both Long-QT and Brugada Syndromes Open
—Mutations in SCN5A , the gene encoding the cardiac Na + channel, have been identified in 2 distinct diseases associated with sudden death: one form of the long-QT syndrome (LQT 3 ) and the Brugada syndrome. We have screened SCN5A in a lar…

Junctional ectopic tachycardia evolving into complete heart block Open
Transition from congenital junctional ectopic tachycardia to complete AV block was observed in an 8 month old girl, over a 36 hour period, during initial hospital admission. Two years later she had evidence of a rapidly increasing left ven…

The right auricle tunnel as intercaval tunnel in total cavopulmonary connection may prevent atrial flutter1 Open
The use of the right auricular technique for creating the intercaval tunnel TCPC is applicable in the majority of patients qualifying for a TCPC. Mortality and morbidity are equal comparing the two techniques. However, markedly less atrial…

Identification of a nonsense mutation at the 5' end of the TSC2 gene in a family with a presumptive diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex. Open
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease with a high mutation rate. It is clinically a very variable disorder and hamartomas can occur in many different organs. TSC shows genetic heterogeneity; one gene…

Mycotic aneurysm at site of formerly ligated ductus arteriosus caused by infective endarteritis. Open
A mycotic aneurysm caused by infective endarteritis occurred at the site of a formerly ligated ductus arteriosus.Because of external pressure by the aneurysm upon the aorta, the clinical syndrome of coarctation of the aorta was mimicked.Af…
