A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.

Strains of mice in which certain GENES of their GENOMES have been disrupted, or "knocked-out". To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.

Clinical profile and outcome of idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy. (1/98)

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy is a poorly recognized entity of unknown cause characterized by nondilated, nonhypertrophied ventricles with diastolic dysfunction resulting in dilated atria and variable systolic function. METHODS AND RESULTS: Between 1979 and 1996, 94 patients (61% women) 10 to 90 years old (mean, 64 years) met strict morphological echocardiographic criteria for idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy, mainly dilated atria with nonhypertrophied, nondilated ventricles. None had known infiltrative disease, hypertension of >5 years' duration, or cardiac or systemic conditions associated with restrictive filling. Nineteen percent were in NYHA class I, 53% in class II, and 28% in class III or IV. Atrial fibrillation was noted in 74% of patients and systolic dysfunction in 16%. Follow-up (mean, 68 months) was complete for 93 patients (99%). At follow-up, 47 patients (50%) had died, 32 (68%) of cardiovascular causes. Four had heart transplantation. The death rate compared with actuarial statistics was significantly higher than expected (P<0.0001). Kaplan-Meier 5-year survival was 64%, compared with expected survival of 85%. Multivariate analysis using proportional hazards showed that the risk of death approximately doubles with male sex (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.1), left atrial dimension >60 mm (HR = 2.3), age >70 years (HR = 2.0), and each increment of NYHA class (HR = 2.0). CONCLUSIONS: Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy or nondilated, nonhypertrophic ventricles with marked biatrial dilatation, as defined morphologically by echocardiography, affects predominantly elderly patients but can occur in any age group. Patients present with systemic and pulmonary venous congestion and atrial fibrillation and have a poor prognosis, particularly men >70 years old with higher NYHA class and left atrial dimension >60 mm.

Differentiation between restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis by early diastolic doppler myocardial velocity gradient at the posterior wall. (2/98)

BACKGROUND: The differential diagnosis between restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) and constrictive pericarditis (CP) is challenging and, despite combined information from different diagnostic tests, surgical exploration is often necessary. METHODS AND RESULTS: A group of 55 subjects (mean age, 63+/-11 years; 36 men and 19 women) were enrolled in the study; 15 had RCM, 10 had CP, and 30 were age-matched, normal controls. The diagnosis of RCM was supported by a biopsy; in the CP group, the diagnosis was confirmed either surgically or at autopsy. All patients underwent a transthoracic echocardiogram that included the assessment of Doppler myocardial velocity gradient (MVG), as measured from the left ventricular posterior wall during the predetermined phases of the cardiac cycle. MVG was lower (P<0.01) in RCM patients compared with both CP patients and normal controls during ventricular ejection (2. 8+/-1.2 versus 4.4+/-1.0 and 4.7+/-0.8 s(-1), respectively) and rapid ventricular filling (1.9+/-0.8 versus 8.7+/-1.7 and 3.7+/-1.4 s(-1), respectively). Additionally, during isovolumic relaxation, MVG was positive in RCM patients and negative in both CP patients and normal controls (0.7+/-0.4 versus -1.0+/-0.6 and -0.4+/-0.3 s(-1), respectively; P<0.01). During atrial contraction, MVG was similarly low (P<0.01) in both RCM and CP patients compared with normal controls (1.6+/-1.7 and 1.7+/-1.8 versus 3.8+/-0.9 s(-1), respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Doppler myocardial imaging-derived MVG, as measured from the left ventricular posterior wall in early diastole during both isovolumic relaxation and rapid ventricular filling, allows for the discrimination of RCM from CP.

Sudden death and cardiovascular collapse in children with restrictive cardiomyopathy. (3/98)

BACKGROUND: Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is rare in children, and the prognosis is poor. In the present study, we evaluated all pediatric patients with RCM who were at our institution during a 31-year period to determine the clinical outcome and cause of death. Those who sustained sudden, unanticipated cardiac arrests were evaluated for risk factors that are predictive of sudden death. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eighteen consecutive patients were reviewed. Presentation, clinical course, laboratory data, and histopathological evidence of ischemia were compared between patients with and without sudden death events. The results demonstrated that patients who were at risk for sudden death were girls with chest pain, syncope, or both at presentation and without congestive heart failure. Although not statistically significant for sudden death, Holter monitor evidence of ischemia predicted death within months. Histopathological evidence of acute or chronic ischemia was found in the majority of patients, with acute ischemia more common among those who sustained sudden death events. CONCLUSIONS: All children with RCM are at risk for ischemia-related complications and death, and some are at risk of sudden death. In the present study, patients at risk of sudden death appeared well and had no evidence of ongoing heart failure but often had signs or symptoms of ischemia characterized by chest pain, syncope, or both. ECGs and Holter monitors may be useful screening tools. The use of beta-blockade, the placement of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, and preferential status 1A or B listing for cardiac transplantation are proposed for pediatric patients with RCM and evidence of ongoing ischemia.

Heart transplantation and the Batista operation for children with refractory heart failure. (4/98)

Medically refractory heart failure may be present in children with cardiomyopathy (CMP) or complex congenital heart disease (CHD). In adults, the surgical management of this condition is either heart transplantation or the Batista operation. From March 1995 to January 2000, a total of 6 children, aged from 1 to 16 years, with medically refractory heart failure associated with CMP or complex CHD underwent cardiac transplantation and one of them also had the Batista operation as a bridge to transplantation. One of the 6 patients died of intractable sepsis 17 days after the operation, but the other 5 were discharged with satisfactory hemodynamics. Immunosuppressive agents, including azathioprine, cyclosporin or FK-506, were given. One patient experienced moderate acute rejection, but it was controlled by FK-506, OKT-3 and solumedrol. However, another suffered from lymphoproliferative disease 8 months after transplant, but it was controlled by intravenous immunoglubulin, alpha-interferon and acyclovir. Cardiac function during serial follow-up (range, 1 month to 5 years) revealed normal systolic and diastolic function and none received any anticongestive medications. Almost all patients received an oversized donor heart. The left ventricle (LV) mass was remodeled, initially as an decrease and later as an increase. The patient who underwent the Batista operation was discharged 1 month after the operation with an increased LV ejection fraction (from 10% to 22%). She was successfully bridged to heart transplantation 7 months after the Batista operation. The results of cardiac transplantation in growing children are satisfactory and remain the mainstay of surgical treatment for medically refractory heart failure in these patients. However, with a shortage of donor hearts, the Batista operation may be adopted as a bridge to heart transplant with a fair response. (+info)

The in vivo role of p38 MAP kinases in cardiac remodeling and restrictive cardiomyopathy. (5/98)

Stress-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP) p38 is activated in various forms of heart failure, yet its effects on the intact heart remain to be established. Targeted activation of p38 MAP kinase in ventricular myocytes was achieved in vivo by using a gene-switch transgenic strategy with activated mutants of upstream kinases MKK3bE and MKK6bE. Transgene expression resulted in significant induction of p38 kinase activity and premature death at 7-9 weeks. Both groups of transgenic hearts exhibited marked interstitial fibrosis and expression of fetal marker genes characteristic of cardiac failure, but no significant hypertrophy at the organ level. Echocardiographic and pressure-volume analyses revealed a similar extent of systolic contractile depression and restrictive diastolic abnormalities related to markedly increased passive chamber stiffness. However, MKK3bE-expressing hearts had increased end-systolic chamber volumes and a thinned ventricular wall, associated with heterogeneous myocyte atrophy, whereas MKK6bE hearts had reduced end-diastolic ventricular cavity size, a modest increase in myocyte size, and no significant myocyte atrophy. These data provide in vivo evidence for a negative inotropic and restrictive diastolic effect from p38 MAP kinase activation in ventricular myocytes and reveal specific roles of p38 pathway in the development of ventricular end-systolic remodeling.

Epidemiology of idiopathic cardiomyopathy in Japan: results from a nationwide survey. (6/98)

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the total number of patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy in Japan and the prevalence of the disorder. DESIGN: A nationwide epidemiological survey. SETTING: Hospitals selected randomly from among all hospitals in Japan. PATIENTS: Patients presenting with any of the three types of idiopathic cardiomyopathy: dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and restrictive cardiomyopathy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The total number of patients in Japan was estimated using the sampling and response rates in each stratum with respect to hospital size. The second survey was conducted for patients reported in the first survey in order to obtain detailed information, including age, sex, and specific clinical data. RESULTS: Estimated patient totals and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were 17 700 (95% CI 16 500 to 18 800) for dilated cardiomyopathy, 21 900 (95% CI 20 600 to 23 200) for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and 300 (95% CI 250 to 350) for restrictive cardiomyopathy. Crude prevalence per 100 000 population was estimated as 14.0 for dilated cardiomyopathy, 17.3 for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and 0.2 for restrictive cardiomyopathy; crude incidence per 100 000 person-years was estimated as 3.58, 4.14, and 0.06, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The total number and prevalence of patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy in Japan are estimated for the first time in a nationwide survey. The prevalence of dilated cardiomyopathy in Japan appears to be about half that of Western populations, while that of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is about the same. (+info)

Molecular mechanisms of inherited cardiomyopathies. (7/98)

Cardiomyopathies are diseases of heart muscle that may result from a diverse array of conditions that damage the heart and other organs and impair myocardial function, including infection, ischemia, and toxins. However, they may also occur as primary diseases restricted to striated muscle. Over the past decade, the importance of inherited gene defects in the pathogenesis of primary cardiomyopathies has been recognized, with mutations in some 18 genes having been identified as causing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and/or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Defining the role of these genes in cardiac function and the mechanisms by which mutations in these genes lead to hypertrophy, dilation, and contractile failure are major goals of ongoing research. Pathophysiological mechanisms that have been implicated in HCM and DCM include the following: defective force generation, due to mutations in sarcomeric protein genes; defective force transmission, due to mutations in cytoskeletal protein genes; myocardial energy deficits, due to mutations in ATP regulatory protein genes; and abnormal Ca2+ homeostasis, due to altered availability of Ca2+ and altered myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity. Improved understanding that will result from these studies should ultimately lead to new approaches for the diagnosis, prognostic stratification, and treatment of patients with heart failure.

Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy is part of the clinical expression of cardiac troponin I mutations. (8/98)

Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is an uncommon heart muscle disorder characterized by impaired filling of the ventricles with reduced volume in the presence of normal or near normal wall thickness and systolic function. The disease may be associated with systemic disease but is most often idiopathic. We recognized a large family in which individuals were affected by either idiopathic RCM or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Linkage analysis to selected sarcomeric contractile protein genes identified cardiac troponin I (TNNI3) as the likely disease gene. Subsequent mutation analysis revealed a novel missense mutation, which cosegregated with the disease in the family (lod score: 4.8). To determine if idiopathic RCM is part of the clinical expression of TNNI3 mutations, genetic investigations of the gene were performed in an additional nine unrelated RCM patients with restrictive filling patterns, bi-atrial dilatation, normal systolic function, and normal wall thickness. TNNI3 mutations were identified in six of these nine RCM patients. Two of the mutations identified in young individuals were de novo mutations. All mutations appeared in conserved and functionally important domains of the gene. This article was published online in advance of the print edition.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy includes a group of heart disorders in which the walls of the ventricles (the two lower chambers of the heart) become stiff, but not necessarily thickened, and resist normal filling with blood between heartbeats. (msdmanuals.com)
In dilated cardiomyopathy the ventricles enlarge and weaken. (wikipedia.org)

The following diagnostic procedures ensure that a diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy is confirmed to be correct. (epainassist.com)

Restrictive cardiomyopathy usually results from an underlying condition that affects the rest of the body. (stlouischildrens.org)
When cardiomyopathy affects a child, it's called pediatric cardiomyopathy. (healthline.com)
It adversely affects those with restrictive cardiomyopathy, as it results in inadequate blood supply to the rest of the body. (youaskmdanswers.com)
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is uncommon in adults and rarely affects children. (mydr.com.au)
Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that not only affects middle-aged and elderly persons, but can also affect infants, children, and adolescents. (thefreedictionary.com)
The term cardiomyopathy is used only when a disorder directly affects the heart muscle. (msdmanuals.com)

A cardiomyopathy is a primary disorder of the heart muscle (see also Overview of Cardiomyopathies ). (msdmanuals.com)
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is not always a primary cardiac disorder. (msdmanuals.com)
Cardiomyopathies are either confined to the heart or are part of a generalized systemic disorder, both often leading to cardiovascular death or progressive heart failure-related disability. (wikipedia.org)

Rather, most cases of restrictive cardiomyopathy are associated with deposition of substances within the myocardium which interfere with its normal flexibility and thus compliance . (pathwaymedicine.org)
In one type of restrictive cardiomyopathy, the heart muscle (myocardium) is gradually replaced by scar tissue possibly due to injury to the myocardium resulting from exposure to radiation during the treatment of cancer. (youaskmdanswers.com)

whereas, median survival for patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy may be as long as 10-15 years. (renalandurologynews.com)
Idiopathic cardiomyopathy: described in children and adults, but median age of diagnosis is approximately 68 years. (unboundmedicine.com)

In this type of genetic cardiomyopathy, fat and extra fibrous tissue replace the muscle of the right ventricle. (healthline.com)
Restrictive cardiomyopathy often runs in families and can be genetic. (medithics.com)
Sometimes, cardiomyopathy can be linked to a genetic abnormality. (beaumont.org)

Idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy had been diagnosed at the age of less than 1 year and was associated with growth retardation, but no other overt congenital defects. (bmj.com)
A congenital form of restrictive cardiomyopathy occurs in infants and children who have endocardial fibroelastosis. (msdmanuals.com)

Up to 75% of patients with idiopathic restrictive cardiomyopathy develop atrial fibrillation. (patient.info)
