[Noncoronary dilated cardiomyopathy after reverse remodeling heart surgery].

We present here analysis of surgical treatment of 24 patients (5 women, 19 men, age 20-75, mean age 50.7 +/- 2.5 years) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) operated during the period from 2008 to 2013.

The case of 17-year-old male with LEOPARD syndrome.

LEOPARD syndrome is a phenotypic expression of mutations in several genes: PTPN11, RAF1, and BRAF. All these genes are responsible for Ras/MARK signaling pathway, which are important for cell cycle regulation, differentiation, growth, and aging. Mutations result in anomalies of skin, skeletal, and cardiovascular systems.
