ABSTRACT

During COVID-19 pandemic, several clinical manifestations have been described beyond respiratory compromise that characterizes the viral disease. Cardiovascular manifestations are one of the main complications. In this case, we report an unusual association between the novo diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension in a pregnant patient with SARS Cov-2, with subsquent development of left ventricular dysfunction.


Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, se han descrito diferentes manifestaciones clínicas que van más allá del compromiso respiratorio que caracteriza a la enfermedad viral. Las manifestaciones cardiovasculares son una de las principales complicaciones. En este caso, nosotros reportamos la asociación poco usual entre el diagnóstico de novo de hipertensión pulmonar arterial en una paciente embarazada con SARS Cov-2 que posteriormente desarrolló disfunción ventricular izquierda.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To report the case of a pregnant woman with mirror syndrome associated with non-compaction cardiomyopathy in the mother and the fetus, in which antenatal medical treatment provided to the mother resulted in a favorable perinatal maternal outcome. Case presentation: A 16-year old primigravida with 33 weeks of gestation referred from a Level I institution to a private Level IV center in Medellín, Colombia, because of a finding of fetal hydrops on obstetric ultrasound. During hospitalization, the patient showed clinical and ultrasonographic signs of heart failure (dyspnea, edema and hypoxemia), with the diagnosis of hydrops fetalis (mirror syndrome) also confirmed. Diuretic treatment with furosemide was initiated in the mother, with subsequent improvement of the maternal condition as well as of the fetal edema. During the subacute postpartum period in the hospital, the presence of non-compaction cardiomyopathy was confirmed on cardiac nuclear magnetic resonance imaging in both the mother and the newborn. After discharge in adequated condition, they were included in the cardiovascular follow-up program for heart failure and congenital heart disease, respectively. Conclusion: A case of mirror syndrome associated with maternal and fetal non-compaction cardiomyopathy is presented. There is a limited number of reports on mirror syndrome due to cardiac anomalies (maternal and fetal), with weak treatment descriptions, pointing to the need for research in this area. It would be important to consider the diagnosis of non-compaction cardiomyopathy in fetuses with hydrops unrelated to isoimmunization or cardiac dysfunction, and approach these cases from a multi-disciplinary perspective.


Objetivo: reportar el caso de una gestante con síndrome en espejo asociada a miocardiopatía no compactada, tanto en la madre como el feto, en los que el tratamiento médico antenatal en la madre llevó a un resultado materno perinatal favorable. Presentación del caso: se describe el caso de una primigestante de 16 años, con 33 semanas de embarazo, remitida desde una institución de primer nivel de atención a una institución privada de cuarto nivel en la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia, por presentar feto con hidropesía en ultrasonido obstétrico de control. Durante la hospitalización, la paciente presentó signos clínicos y ecocardiográficos de falla cardiaca (disnea, edema e hipoxemia), a la vez que se confirmó el diagnóstico de Hydrops fetalis (síndrome en espejo). Se instauró tratamiento diurético con furosemida en la madre, logrando mejoría del cuadro materno y del edema fetal. En el puerperio mediato hospitalario se confirmaron la presencia de miocardiopatía no compactada en la resonancia magnética nuclear cardiaca, tanto de la madre como del recién nacido. Ambos egresaron en adecuadas condiciones y fueron vinculados al programa de seguimiento cardiovascular: falla cardiaca y de cardiopatía congénitas, respectivamente. Conclusión: se presenta un caso de síndrome en espejo asociado a miocardiopatía no compactada materna y fetal. Es limitado el número de reportes de síndrome en espejo por anomalías cardiacas (maternas y fetales) y pobre la descripción de los tratamientos realizados que surgen como temas a investigar. Sería importante considerar el diagnóstico de MNC en fetos con hidropesía no asociados a isoinmunización y con disfunción cardiaca, así como su atención por equipos multidisciplinarios.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Se presenta el caso de una gestante con cardiopatía congénita no estudiada que acudió al servicio de urgencias en la semana 25 + 4 por palpitaciones, con evidencia de hipertensión arterial desde el ingreso. Los estudios diagnósticos revelaron anomalía de Ebstein, con gran compromiso de cavidades derechas y asociado a comunicación interauricular. También se documentó preeclampsia lejos del término, con restricción grave del crecimiento intrauterino. Durante la estancia hospitalaria, y ante negativa de la paciente a finalizar la gestación, desarrolló síntomas de congestión pulmonar por sobrecarga. Una vez falleció el feto in utero y después de inducir el parto, remitieron los síntomas cardiovasculares y se controló la hipertensión.


Abstract We present the case of a pregnant woman with previously undiagnosed congenital heart disease, who presented to the emergency department at week 25 + 4 due to palpitations, with evidence of arterial hypertension from admission. Diagnostic studies revealed Ebsteins anomaly, with great involvement of the right cavities and associated with atrial septal defect. Preeclampsia was also documented far from term, associated with severe intrauterine growth restriction. During the hospital stay and due to the refusal of the patient to end the pregnancy, she developed symptoms of pulmonary congestion due to overload, once the fetus died in utero and after inducing labor, the cardiovascular symptoms remitted and hypertension was controlled.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac anomaly which affects 0.5-2% of the population. It can be associated with other cardiac congenital lesions such as aortic aneurysms or aortic coarctation. Some genetic abnormalities have been suggested as the underlying cause of BAV and aortic root dilatation, but no clear genetic substrate and no specific pathogenic gene variant have already been identified. Increased matrix metalloproteinase activity has been described in the aortic wall of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA). METHODS: 87 patients with BAV and 77 controls with normal tricuspid aortic valve were prospectively assessed. We analysed three functional polymorphisms (-1607 1G/2G, -519 A/G, and -340 T/C) in the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 gene using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length analysis. RESULTS: We found a haplotype composed of the lower activity allele from each polymorphism (-1607 1G/-519 A/-340 C) significantly less frequent in BAV group (p=0.016; OR [95% CI]=0.37 [0.16-0.85]), association even more clear when we consider only men (p=0.0005, OR [95% CI]=0.24 [0.10-0.56]). We also found a borderline statistical significance in the distribution of the -1607 alleles, being 2G allele more frequent in patients with TAA (p=0.053). This association was stronger and statistically significant when we consider only men (p=0.013; OR [95% CI]=2.0 [1.16-3.50]). In addition, genotype -1607 2G2G, theoretically the more active transcriptionally, was also significantly more frequent in TAA group, independently of aortic valve morphology. CONCLUSIONS: Our study suggests that specific genotypes of MMP1 gene could be in part responsible of the complications of BAV pathology, like TAA.
