    Notes: Abstract. A boy with multicore myopathy associated with multiple pterygium syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is described. Light microscopy of biopsy samples from the skeletal muscle and myocardium revealed multiple cores in the muscle fibers in the former but their absence in the latter. These results suggest that the pathogenesis of the histologic changes might differ between skeletal muscle and myocardium, and that further electron microscopic examination be done on both types of specimen. The prognosis of multicore myopathy is not usually good when cardiac involvement is present.

    Notes: Abstract Endothelin (ET) is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide with an as yet uncertain physiological role in cardiovascular disease. We measured blood plasma ET concentrations using a recently developed radioimmunoassay and analysed the relations between ET concentration, systemic arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance. In addition, ET levels before and after percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty and angioplasty were measured. Fifty-one patients were studied: (1) 13 patients with small left-to-right shunting or Kawasaki heart disease (age ranged from 4 to 144 months); (2) 10 patients who had undergone ballon valvuloplasty or angioplasty (age ranged from 1 to 233 months) and (3) 28 healthy infants and children (age ranged from 3 to 152 months). Systemic vascular resistance was calculated by the formula (mean aortic pressure — mean right atrial pressure) X 80/cardiac output (dyne·sec·cm−5). Plasma ET concentrations in healthy children less than 2 years were significantly higher than those over 2 years (2.48±0.62 vs 1.31±0.53 pg/ml). In eight patients in groups 1 and 2, plasma ET concentration in the pulmonary artery (2.00±0.43 pg/ml) was significantly lower than that in the femoral vein (2.39±0.69 pg/ml) and aorta (2.23±0.59 pg/ml), suggesting ET secretion derived from endothelial cells in peripheral pulmonary vessels. There was a significant positive correlation between ET concentrations in the femoral vein and systemic vascular resistance (r=0.55,p〈0.05). After balloon dilatation ET concentration rose from 2.15±0.82pg/ml to 2.61±1.38 pg/ml. These results suggest that ET may be a stress-induced hormone which is secreted by the transient hypotension following percutaneous balloon dilatation and which regulates peripheral vascular tonus.

    Notes: Abstract We review the validity of balloon occlusion aortography (BOA) on the basis of our personal experience with 18 patients with congenital heart disease (mean weight 4.55 g, including 8 neonates). Four of the 18 patients underwent aortic arch angiography using balloon occlusion of the descending aorta. Pulmonary angiography was also performed in 9 patients via a patent ductus arteriosus and in 3 patients via a Blalock-Taussig shunt. The remaining 2 patients underwent coronary arteriography by balloon occlusion of the ascending aorta. The information obtained was satisfactory in 17 of the 18 patients. However, in one patient with a double-outlet right ventricle and pulmonary stenosis, the pulmonary arteries were not clearly visualized because of dominant antegrade flow from the right ventricle. BOA is a safe and useful procedure which can be used to image the aortic arch, pulmonary artery, and coronary arteries in infants with congenital heart diseases. In children over 3 years of age, however, the balloon may not be able to occlude the appropriate site of the aorta, so selective angiography is required to obtain precise information.

    Notes: Abstract To evaluate the angiographic features of coronary lesions in Kawasaki disease with coronary artery calcification, cinefluoroscopy and cineangiography were retrospectively reviewed in 116 patients who had undergone coronary angiography between 1982 and 1989. Angiographic abnormalities of coronary arteries were demonstrated in 55 of the 116 patients. In 5 (9.1%) of the 55 patients, 9 with calcification were identified by cinefluoroscopy and chest x-ray. Eight of the 9 calcified lesions showed a circular or ring-shape configuration. Coronary angiography revealed a total occlusion of the right coronary artery with collateral circulation from the distal left coronary artery in 2 patients and a severe stenosis of the right coronary artery in 2 patients, in whom anticoagulant therapy had not been continued during the follow-up periods. The remaining patient in whom anticoagulant therapy had been continued had bilateral aneurysms but no significant stenosis. These results indicate that a ringshape calcification on chest x-ray in a patient with a history or Kawasaki disease may suggest an involvement by coronary artery stenosis even when anticoagulant drugs had been given. Therefore, coronary angiography should be performed to evaluate the stenotic lesions if this type of calcification is found by routine radiographic examination.
