Three dimensional echocardiographic assessment of multiple rhabdomyoma in newborn

Cardiac rhabdomyomas represent the most common primary cardiac tumour in children and are strongly associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. This article reports a newborn for whom three-dimensional echocardiogram, with multiplane mode, real-time imaging, full volume and i-slice view, allowed detailed visualisation of multiple highly echogenic and well-circumscribed cardiac rhabdomyoma. Three-dimensional imaging allowed a better definition of the tumour characteristics and provided a better delineation of the spatial relationship of the mass with a tomographic perspective. Three dimensional imaging may facilitate a possible operative planning and should be included in cardiac mass evaluation and follow-up.peer-reviewe

Sport resumption and quality of life after surgical correction of anomalous origin of a coronary artery from the opposite sinus

ObjectivesWe sought to assess the resumption of sport, exercise performances, and quality of life (QoL) in adults and children after surgical repair of anomalous coronary arteries originating from the opposite sinus (ACAOS).Materials and methodsPatients who underwent surgical repair for ACAOS between 2002 and 2022 were retrospectively identified. Information about sports activity and exercise performance based on metabolic equivalents of task (METs) calculated at the last exercise stress test, were collected. QoL was assessed using age-appropriate questionnaires (Paediatric QoL Inventory, cardiac module version 3.0 for patients <18 years; SF-36 QoL Inventory for adults). Patients' METS and patients’ QoL-scores were compared to reference population using the Wilcoxon test.Results45 patients were enrolled (males 71%, adults 49%, anomalous right coronary 84%). Median age at surgery was 15 years; median follow-up after surgery was 2.3 years [4 months–12 years]. All post-operative exercise stress tests were normal, METs and VO2 max patients' values did not differ from healthy children or adults (Exercise intensity: 12.5 ± 4.7 vs. 13.4 ± 2 METS, p = 0.3; VO2 max: 43.6 ± 16.6 vs. 46.9 ± 7 ml/kg/min, p = 0.37). For adults, QoL—scores were similar between ACAOS patients and controls. For children, there was no significant difference between the study patients' scores and those of the reference population, except for physical appearance proxy-report (p = 0.02).ConclusionIn our study, the practice of sports, exercise stress testing and QoL were not adversely affected after ACAOS repair
