A woman complaining of dyspnea and chest pain since childhood, was referred to our hospital with an initial diagnosis of biventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Multimodality imaging evaluation revealed massive right ventricular (RV) hypertrophy and severe RV outflow tract obstruction, with a final diagnosis of double chambered RV associated with small ventricular septal defect with right-to-left shunt and right partial anomalous pulmonary vein return. This represents an uncommon combination of congenital abnormalities, extremely rarely diagnosed in adulthood.

Annular Calcification

Abstract Mitral annular calcification (MAC) refers to calcium deposition in the fibrous skeleton of the mitral valve. It has many cardiovascular associations, including mitral valve dysfunction, elevated cardiovascular risk, arrhythmias, and endocarditis. Echocardiography conventionally is the first-line imaging modality for anatomic assessment, and evaluation of mitral valve function. Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has demonstrated importance as an imaging modality for the evaluation and planning of related procedures. It also holds promise in quantitative grading of MAC. Currently, there is no universally accepted definition or classification system of MAC severity. We review the multimodality imaging evaluation of MAC and associated valvular dysfunction and propose a novel classification system based on qualitative and quantitative measurements derived from echocardiography and cardiac CT.

Abstract Purpose of Review Cardiac masses frequently present significant diagnostic and therapeutic clinical challenges and encompass a broad set of lesions that can be either neoplastic or non-neoplastic. We sought to provide an overview of cardiac tumors using a cardiac chamber prevalence approach and providing epidemiology, imaging, histopathology, diagnostic workup, treatment, and prognoses of cardiac tumors. Recent Findings Cardiac tumors are rare but remain an important component of cardio-oncology practice. Over the past decade, the advances in imaging techniques have enabled a noninvasive diagnosis in many cases. Indeed, imaging modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance, computed tomography, and positron emission tomography are important tools for diagnosing and characterizing the lesions. Although an epidemiological and multimodality imaging approach is useful, the definite diagnosis requires histologic examination in challenging scenarios, and histopathological characterization remains the diagnostic gold standard. Summary A comprehensive clinical and multimodality imaging evaluation of cardiac tumors is fundamental to obtain a proper differential diagnosis, but histopathology is necessary to reach the final diagnosis and subsequent clinical management.

Abstract Case Summary A 16 month old, 8.2 kg patient came forward for evaluation of complex cardiac anatomy with multimodality imaging assessment to ascertain suitability for biventricular repair. A large ventricular septal defect was diagnosed before birth but possible straddling of the tricuspid valve identified postnatally. The patient developed symptoms of congestive cardiac failure and was palliated with a pulmonary artery band. In view of the difficult nature of the defect they were reviewed with 3D-transthoracic echo, transoesophageal echo and cardiac MRI. Their transthoracic echo confirmed situs solitus with levocardia, atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial concordance. There was a well placed pulmonary artery band with peak velocity of 5 m/s. Biventricular systolic function appeared good. There was a large ventricular septal defect at the inlet extending to the muscular septum. There were 2 prominent muscle bundles arising from the ventricular apex and it was difficult to distinguish on echocardiography which of these formed the true ventricular septum (Figures A & B). Although the tricuspid valve opened normally, there were multiple chords extending to overlie the right ventricular aspect of the ventricular septal defect (Figure C), some of which appeared to cross the through defect (*) and attach to the more leftward of the apical trabeculations (Figure D white dotted line illustrates the true plane of ventricular septum which overlies the attachments. Red dotted line represents the plane followed by the leftward apical trabeculation). Cardiac MRI showed that the trabeculation positioned to the left was the true ventricular septum, as it seemed to be in line with the plane of the atrial septum at the crux of the heart (Figure E & F). At surgery her heart was found to be unseptatable due to multiple straddling chords from the tricuspid valve inserting into multiple papillary muscle heads with the left ventricle. Conclusions The key issue in this case is which of the muscular structures positioned at the ventricular apex is considered to be the true ventricular septum as this determines whether on not there is straddle of the tricuspid valve. In addition the complex and multiple nature of the chordal attachments below the valve made accessing and closing the defect not feasible. Even in the present era with wide availability of advanced, multimodality imaging techniques demonstrating anatomy can still prove challenging in planning surgical repair, especially within the setting of complex congenital heart disease. Many aspects of such cases still only become apparent at the time of surgery and this remains a key issue when counselling parents. Abstract P1730 Figure.
