Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy: three new cases and a review of the literature.

Histiocytoid cardiomyopathy (HC), a rare arrhythmogenic disorder, presents as difficult-to-control arrhythmias or sudden death in infants and children, particularly girls. Three cases are described with autopsy findings. In two cases, yellow-tan nodules were grossly visible in the myocardium; in the third case, no gross lesions were identified. Microscopic examination in all three cases revealed multiple, scattered clusters of histiocytoid myocytes which on ultrastructural examination were filled with abnormal mitochondria, scattered lipid droplets, and scanty myofibrils. These pathologic findings are similar to those previously described. The pathogenesis of this entity remains controversial. It was recently proposed that this disorder is X-linked dominant with the associated gene located in the region of Xp22.

Postoperative aneurysms of the heart. Case report and review of the literature.

A postoperative left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is reported in a seven-year-old after closure of an atrial septal defect and repair of partial anomalous venous drainage. A discussion of the etiology and clinical presentation of post operative aneurysms are presented. Cardiac aneurysms of both the true and false variety have been commonly reported following myocardial infarction, blunt and penetrating trauma and infectious processes such as tuberculosis and syphilis. As the frequency of open heart correction of congenital and acquired lesions increases, the incidence of post-operative pseudoaneurysm of heart can also be expected to increase. The diagnosis of this entity in the postoperative period is often difficult and may lead to delay in detection and correction. The clinical presentation and subsequent course of false anurysm differs from the more common true aneurysm to an extent which should be recognized by both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons. A case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after open heart repair of an atrial septal defect is reported and a clinical profile which may be helpful in the earlier recognition of this entity is presented.
