AI Article Synopsis
- - Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic disorder that primarily affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems, making early recognition by pediatricians crucial for managing its cardiovascular issues.
- - The first cardiac signs in affected children are cardiac rhabdomyomas and arrhythmias, which can be challenging to diagnose due to their varied presentations.
- - The study aims to equip pediatric practitioners with up-to-date knowledge on cardiovascular complications in tuberous sclerosis, detailing both the prenatal and postnatal progression and the best practices for screening and long-term follow-up.
Article Abstract
Tuberous sclerosis is a rare genetic disorder involving mainly the nervous and cardiovascular systems. The early recognition of the cardiovascular manifestations by the pediatrician allows an appropriate management and therefore enhances the quality of life of the affected children. Cardiac rhabdomyomas and the associated arrhythmias are the first cardiac features and they might represent a diagnosis challenge given their wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. We aimed to provide the paediatric practitioners with current knowledge regarding the cardiovascular complications in children with tuberous sclerosis. We overviewed the antenatal and postnatal evolution of cardiovascular manifestations, the systematic screening and long-term follow-up strategy of cardiac rhabdomyomas and arrhythmias in children with tuberous sclerosis.
