Cardiomyopathy in Children and
Adolescents
 Goals
– Incidence of cardiomyopathy in children
– Understand with wide spectrum of etiologies of
cardiomyopathy in children and adolescents
– Diagnostic modalities
– Genetics of cardiomyopathy and impact on the
family
– Current management of myocardial diseases
Incidence of cardiomyopathy in
children
 Incidence 1.13-1.24/100,000
 40% of children ultimately die of their disease (unaltered
over decades)
 Highest incidence is in the first year of life, (greater than 8
to 12 times that at any other time in life)
 Second peak occurs in adolescence
 Higher incidences in Black and Hispanic children. (Greater
in indigenous versus non-indigenous Australian
populations)
 Incidence greater in males than females secondary to
muscular dystrophies.
 9 to 20 percent of cardiomyopathies are familial
 4% presenting symptom was sudden death

Uhl Anomaly
Figure 1. Noninvasive investigations. A, ECG
showing type I atrioventricular block and complete
right bundle-branch block. B, Echocardiography
(4-chamber apical view) showing leftward
curveted IVS with normal systolic
thickening. Its right side is nontrabeculated, in
contrast to the trabeculated LV apex. Segmental
and global LV systolic functions were preserved.
C, Biventricular radionuclide angiography
at equilibrium in a left anterior oblique
projection (3-dimensional apical view). Note the
bean-like shape of the LV with otherwise normal
kinetics. ED indicates end diastole; ES, end
systole.

Imaging ARVD
Figure. A, ECG with typical signs for ARVC; negative T waves and Epsilon waves in the precordial leads (arrow). B, Chest x-ray after
ICD implantation. Both the atrial and ventricular leads are visible. C through E, Signal attenuation in RV septum on MDCT (C), increased
signal intensity on delayed enhancement images (D), and decreased signal intensity on steady-state free precession images (E).

Case Report
 16 year old male has sudden cardiac arrest while playing soccer.
Resuscitation results in return of circulation but sustains neurologic
sequelae. Diagnosis ARVD, receives AICD.
 Echocardiography of immediate family members detects ARVD in the
patient’s father and one brother. Younger brother with ARVD, refuses
AICD later arrests while playing soccer with friends. Resuscitation
successfully, gets AICD.
 Family history of uncle with AICD for Arrhythmia 4 years previously. No
attempts made at family history or screening.
 Genetic testing becomes available 2 years ago and 2 younger siblings
with negative echoes screened. One positive with no evidence of
cardiomyopathy at this time.
Genetics and Cardiomyopathy
 Many cardiomyopathies have well known patterns
of inheritance and now have genetic testing
available to identify family members both with and
without risk of potentially life threatening disease.
 Adults presenting with cardiomyopathy for the first
time should have detailed family history and
possible genetic testing.
 In the absence of genetic testing other family
members should be screened.
Case Report
 Follow a 9 year-old female patient since fetal life
diagnosed with dextrocardia, fetal hydrops VSD,
coarctation of the aorta, left ventricular
diverticulum (resolves by birth). Has had VSD,
coarctation repair complicated by complete heart
block.
 Mother diagnosed with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy 1 year ago.
 Screened brother: asymptomatic hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy.
Premortem Evaluation
 Diagnosis in a moribund patient obtain studies to
determine etiology and/or genetic or metabolic
cause of the disease.
 Includes:
 Blood
– Blood-Glucose, electrolytes, bicarbonate, ABG, BUN,
Creatinine, Lactate and pyruvate, CBC with WBC,
Creatine kinase, Cholesterol and Triglycerides, Alkaline
aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bilirubin,
PT/PTT, albumin, uric acid









Calcium channel blockers
Asynchronous ventricular pacing
Surgical myectomy
Septal ablation

– Depends on etiology and any available treatment
– L-Carnitine for carnitine deficiency
Conclusion
 The diagnosis of cardiomyopathy in childhood involves an
extensive evaluation for possible etiology.
 Familial disease is common and even asymptomatic family
members should be screened.
 Genetic evaluation should be pursued where there is the
possibility of inheritable disease and availability of genetic
testing.
 Consider metabolic disease in the infant with
cardiomyopathy.
 With better understanding of the molecular causes of
cardiomyopathy, future medical management may allow for
greater longevity and quality of life in this population.
