Cardiac involvement in juvenile ceroid lipofuscinosis of the Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjögren type: prospective noninvasive findings in two siblings

European Neurology
P MichielsenJ Snoeck

Abstract

The results of prospective noninvasive cardiologic investigations, including echocardiography and Holter monitoring are described in 2 siblings with juvenile ceroid lipofuscinosis of the Spielmeyer-Vogt-Sjögren type. In the elder patient, echocardiography revealed ventricular hypertrophy with slowed ventricular relaxation. Holter monitoring showed not only bradycardia but also slow and fast ectopic atrial rhythms, sinus arrests and complex ventricular ectopic activity including ventricular tachycardia. In the younger patient the findings were less severe. These functional disturbances due to cardiac involvement, never reported before in this disease, are discussed.

Batten Disease

Batten Disease is a group of nervous system disorders known as neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. This feed focuses on neurobiological and neuropathological aspects of this disease.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
