Turner syndrome is a monosomy (45,X karyotype) in which the prevalence of cardiovascular anomalies is high. However, this aspect of Turner syndrome has received little attention outside of the pediatric medical literature, and the entire spectrum of cardiovascular conditions in adults remains unknown. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman who had Turner syndrome.

Methods: From 2002 to May 2008, 274 patients underwent left ventricular reconstruction for post-myocardial infarction scarring; 117 of these patients would not have been eligible for the STICH trial. The pertinent criteria for exclusion included 12 patients with no coronary vessel suitable for coronary artery bypass grafting; 17 patients within a month of myocardial infarction, including 11 with acute heart failure (8 septal ruptures and 3 cases of ventricular tachycardia); 48 patients receiving intravenous inotropes, intra-aortic balloon pumping, or both; 15 patients with bifocal or posterior scarring; 4 patients scheduled for heart transplantation; and 21 patients meeting 5 other exclusion criteria.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how local deformation of the left ventricle relates to functional mitral regurgitation (MR) following a heart attack and the impact of surgical repairs.
- The research involved 221 patients who underwent heart catheterization before and after surgical repair, assessing various heart metrics and including patients with and without angiographic MR.
- Results indicate that those with MR showed significant differences in heart volume and function compared to those without; specifically, changes in the inferior wall's shape and movement were linked to the development of MR.
Background: In ischemic cardiomyopathy, dyssynchrony of left ventricular (LV) mechanical contraction produces adverse hemodynamic consequences. This study tests the capacity of geometric rebuilding by surgical ventricular restoration (SVR) to restore a more synchronous contractile pattern after a mechanical, rather than electrical, intervention.
Methods And Results: A prospective study of the global and regional components of dyssynchrony was conducted in 30 patients (58+/-8 years of age) undergoing SVR at the Cardiothoracic Center of Monaco.
