[Classification of primary myocardiopathies according to cineangiographic and hemodynamic data].

Based on the data of high-speed, synchronous, biplane left cineventriculography and of haemodynamic examination, a physio-pathological classification for primary cardiomyopathies is put forward. Besides obstructive cardiomyopathies, three groups were individualized: hyperkinetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hypokinetic hypertrophic and hypokinetic hypotrophic cardiomyopathies. The individuality of each group was discussed together with its eventual evolution from one the other. A better defined therapeutic attitude should result from this classification which therefore has a practical interest as well.

Cardiorespiratory exercise tolerance in asymptomatic children with Ebstein's anomaly.

The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiorespiratory exercise tolerance in asymptomatic children with Ebstein's anomaly. Eleven children with a mean age of 9.6 years were prospectively studied by spirometry, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (bicycle ergometer n = 8, treadmill test n = 3), and contrast echocardiography. A right-to-left atrial shunt was detected by contrast echocardiography in 7 children (group 1), whereas no shunt was found in 4 (group 2). VO2 max was decreased [84.5 (SD = 16.8)] and was strongly correlated to oxygen saturation in group 1 (p < 0.0001). Oxygen saturation at peak uptake was significantly decreased compared to baseline [97.4 (SD = 2.0) vs 90% (SD = 9.5%), p = 0.02] and was significantly lower in group 1 than in group 2 [85.7 (2.2) vs 98.2% (SD = 1.2%), p = 0. 03]. Oxygen desaturation was related to a right-to-left atrial shunt (p = 0.01). Decreased VO2 max was also correlated to the small size of the left ventricle (p = 0.05). We concluded that decreased exercise tolerance in children with asymptomatic Ebstein's anomaly is related to a right-to-left atrial shunt and to a small left ventricle. In case of poor exercise tolerance, a contrast echocardiography should be performed to detect an atrial septal defect.

[Cor triatriatum. Anatomical forms and surgical treatment of 6 consecutive cases].

Six cases of cor triatriatum documented and operated on at Henri-Mondor hospital between 1980 and 1984 are reported. Ages at the time of surgery ranged from 8 months to 57 years. Four of the 6 patients presented with pulmonary hypertension. Anatomic types consisted of 4 diaphragmatic types and 2 more complex malformations. Associated lesions were present in all but one patients. They consisted mostly of interatrial defects (depending on their position with regard to the intra-atrial membrane, they play a determinant role in the symptomatology) and of a left superior vena cava (which might play a role in the embryogenesis of the malformation). Except for one early postoperative death, results of surgery were excellent for all patients, with a mean follow-up of 5 years. This series, compared with the literature, allows precising the embryologic and anatomic aspects of the malformation and the surgical techniques in complex types.
