Background: In childhood and adolescence, cardiac arrhythmias are often benign in the absence of congenital heart defects. Nevertheless, life-threatening inherited arrhythmogenic syndromes can become clinically manifest in early childhood. As early symptoms may be similar in both conditions, thorough workup is fundamental to avoid delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the connection between biallelic truncating variants and various musculoskeletal and cardiac disorders in children, emphasizing the limited understanding of cardiac issues associated with these variants in the pediatric population.
  • Five pediatric patients with biallelic variants were reviewed, showing severe musculoskeletal problems (arthrogryposis multiplex) and significant cardiac issues, including dilated cardiomyopathy and congenital heart defects, with most patients diagnosed early in life.
  • The findings suggest that biallelic variants should be considered in children displaying severe, early-onset dilated cardiomyopathy and skeletal abnormalities, as these conditions are often linked to end-stage heart failure, which may necessitate heart transplantation.

Background: Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a common valvular heart disease and has often been associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). This underlines the pressing need for the establishment of consistent tools for arrhythmic risk prediction.

Case Summary: A 73-year-old man with previous diagnosis of MVP was referred to the cardiology outpatient consult for a 1-month history of near-syncope and light-headedness.
