Background:
Chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity (CTRC) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality in long-term cancer survivors. Left ventricular [LV] Global longitudinal strain (GLS) is a sensitive parameter that can be used for earlier detection of contractile function changes in these patients. Recent literature suggested certain genotypes may influence CTRC. Our goal was to assess longitudinal myocardial function and identify any correlation between certain genetic variations and LV function regarding CTRC in our pediatric population.
Methods:
50 subjects ≥10 years of age who have survived >2 years after completion of cancer treatment were enrolled out of which 29 subjects agreed for genetic …

Background: Anthracyclines are widely used in the treatment of childhood cancer. One of the well-recognized side-effects of anthracycline therapy is dose-dependent cardiomyopathy that may progress to heart failure (HF) years after completion of cancer-directed therapy. This study will evaluate the efficacy of low-dose beta-blocker (carvedilol) for HF risk reduction in childhood cancer survivors at highest risk for HF. The proposed intervention has the potential to significantly reduce chronic cardiac injury via interruption of neurohormonal systems responsible for left ventricular (LV) remodeling, resulting in improved cardiac function and decreased risk of HF. The intervention is informed by previous studies demonstrating efficacy …

Cardiac myxoma is the most common cardiac tumor in patients of all ages; the majority are encountered as single left atrial tumors. Left ventricular myxomas are exceedingly rare, having been recorded in a small number of case reports involving children worldwide. We report a case of a left ventricular myxoma with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in a previously healthy, asymptomatic adolescent black male. Transthoracic echocardiograms revealed a single, large (2.5 × 5-cm), lobulated, mobile mass within the left ventricular cavity that oscillated into the outflow tract, thereby causing moderate obstruction during systole. Advanced images delineated the location and tissue …
