Introduction: Velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) is the most common microdeletion syndrome with an incidence of 1:4000 live births. Its phenotype is highly variable with facial, velopharyngeal, cardiac, endocrine, immunologic and psychiatric abnormalities. It is caused by a microdeletion in chromosome 22q11.

Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the third leading cause of death in children <1 year of age in Mexico where there is a high prevalence of the 677C → T polymorphism of the MTHFR gene. This is important because the homozygous 677T/T MTHFR gene and deficiency of folic acid (FA) intake have been associated with CHD. Our objective was to analyze the possible association between the genotype 677T/T of the MTHFR gene and supplementation of FA in Mexican women with the presence of complex CHD in their children.

Departamento de Cardiología, Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, México DF, Mexico.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate left ventricular function in patients who underwent successful repair of aortic coarctation and to identify factors that might lead to later functional issues.
- Echocardiographic data from 40 patients (mean age 6.9 years at repair) showed improvements in ejection fraction and shortening fraction in the majority, but 47.5% still had abnormal myocardial performance indices post-repair.
- Higher abnormalities in myocardial performance were found in patients with prior arterial hypertension, older age at repair, and more severe left ventricular issues prior to the procedure.
[Pulmonary venous flow in children with dilated cardiomyopathy using transthoracic echocardiography].
Arch Cardiol Mex
May 2008
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze pulmonary venous flow in children with dilated cardiomyopathy and its relationship with mitral Doppler flow and functional class.
- Results showed that all 14 patients had abnormal pulmonary venous flow, and 9 of them had abnormal diastolic function when assessed through mitral Doppler flow.
- The findings suggest that pulmonary venous flow is a better indicator of diastolic function and correlates more closely with the functional class compared to mitral Doppler flow.
