2 1p36 and the Heart Multiple organ systems can be effected in 1p36 Cardiovascular system is frequently involved As with all organ systems, there is a broad range of clinical findings Screening and surveillance is important to assess for structural heart defects as well heart muscle disease
3 1p36 and the Heart Typical diagnostic strategy would include an echocardiogram An echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) will either rule in or rule out congenital (structural) heart disease This means that this cannot be acquired over time If not present, will never be present
4 1p36 and the Heart Cardiomyopathy is a term that denotes abnormal heart muscle This can also be diagnosed by echocardiography However, the heart muscle can change over time Having a normal echocardiogram does not rule out the development of disease in the future

7 Cardiovascular Findings in 1p36 Syndrome 60 patients with 1p36 deletion syndrome 41 female One of the largest cohorts reported 71% of the patients had heart defects 23% had cardiomyopathy Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) Battaglia et al Pediatrics;121:
8 Cardiovascular Findings in 1p36 Syndrome Congenital heart defects in 34/48 (71%) Septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), valve abnormalities, tetralogy of Fallot, coarctation of the aorta, Ebstein s anomaly Cardiomyopathy in 13/48 (27%) LVNC in 11/13 Dilated cardiomyopathy in 2/13 Battaglia et al Pediatrics;121:

10 Congenital Heart Disease Treatment Treatment depends on severity of lesion and potential long-term impacts Some resolve spontaneously Some can be treated with a catheter Some require surgery If spontaneous resolution does not occur, life-long cardiac evaluation is recommended

12 Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM)
13 Dilated Cardiomyopathy Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart disease characterized by ventricular chamber enlargement and a reduction in contractile performance. 1 DCM is the third most common cause of heart failure and the most frequent cause of heart transplantation. 1 Maron BJ, Towbin JA, Thiene G, et al. Circulation. 2006;113:

16 Left Ventricular Noncompaction (LVNC)
17 Left Ventricular Noncompaction LVNC is a cardiomyopathy characterized by abnormal, deep trabeculations in the LV myocardium. 1 LV systolic dysfunction, heart failure (and some cases of heart transplantation), thromboemboli, arrhythmias, sudden death, and extensive cardiac remodeling are associated with LVNC Maron BJ, Towbin JA, Thiene G, et al. Circulation. 2006;113: McNally E, Dellefave L.Trends Cardiovasc Med. 2009;19:17-21.
18 Left Ventricular Noncompaction LVNC has been classified as a primary cardiomyopathy with a genetic origin Morpholigically characterized by a severely thickened, 2-layered myocardium, numerous prominent trabeculations, and deep intertrabecular recesses Clinically and genetically a very heterogeneous disorder Symptomatic versus asymptomatic at presentation may be predictive of outcome Oechslin et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2000;36:
19 Left Ventricular Noncompaction During cardiac development, myocardium initially trabeculated Period before coronary development Adaptation to provide coronary blood flow to the developing myocardium Development of the coronary vasculature associated temporally with the loss of LV trabeculations Between gestational weeks 5-8, trabeculae regress and myocardium compacts
20 Noninvasive Imaging Echocardiography remains most commonly used imaging modality Availability Portability Duration of study Anesthesia Insurance approval
21 Noninvasive Imaging Cardiac MRI Numerous advantages to use of serial MRI Reproducibility Reconstruction Myocardial characterization Chamber sizes (atria) Late gadolinium enhancement (fibrosis) Response to therapy Progression of disease

27 Left Ventricular Noncompaction Clinical manifestations Heart failure Embolic events Arrhythmias Sudden cardiac death
28 Mortality and SCD in LVNC The presence of heart muscle dysfunction was strongly associated with mortality (p<0.001) Repolarization abnormalities were associated with increased mortality (HR 2.1; p=0.02) Presence of arrhythmias was associated with mortality (HR 2.8; p=0.002) Brescia et al. Circulation 2013; April 30 [Epub ahead of print].

30 Heart Failure Defined Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood. Hunt SA et al. Circulation. 2001;104:2996
31 Heart Failure in Children Heart failure in childhood may present in the first days of life or anytime thereafter Signs and symptoms of heart failure in children may include: Breathlessness Tachypnea or tachycardia Diaphoresis Failure to thrive None

37 Cardiomyopathy Diagnosis and Treatment Careful attention to the echocardiogram required Often this is best achieved by seeing a Cardiologist who specializes in heart muscle disease More advanced imaging such as an MRI may be needed in select patients to see the heart muscle adequately
38 Cardiomyopathy Diagnosis and Treatment Treatment depends on the type of cardiomyopathy, disease severity, and symptoms Many patients with LVNC do not need treatment Medicines are indicated for patients with DCM or with LVNC and abnormal heart function Advanced therapies exist for patients with severe disease
39 Conclusions Screening for cardiac disease should occur at the time that initial diagnosis of 1p36 is made Evidence of structural/congenital heart disease should prompt referral to a Cardiologist Intervention may or may not be necessary depending on the findings
40 Conclusions The diagnosis of a cardiomyopathy should trigger referral to a Cardiologist, preferably someone with expertise in that area Treatment will be defined by the type and severity of disease DCM has been associated with 1p36 and can develop at different ages in life This warrants life-long echocardiographic screening
