Nephrotic syndrome and acute coronary syndrome in children, teenagers and young adults: Systematic literature review. Arch Cardiovasc Dis 2023; 116:282-290. [PMID: 37088677 DOI: 10.1016/j.acvd.2023.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023]
Abstract
Myocardial infarction is rare in children, teenagers and young adults (aged<20 years). The most common aetiologies identified include Kawasaki disease, familial hypercholesterolaemia, collagen vascular disease-induced coronary arteritis, substance abuse (cocaine, glue sniffing), trauma, complications of congenital heart disease surgery, genetic disorders (such as progeria), coronary artery embolism, occult malignancy and several other rare conditions. Nephrotic syndrome is a very rare cause of myocardial infarction, but it is probably underestimated. The purpose of this review was to determine the current state of knowledge on acute coronary syndrome related to nephrotic syndrome. We thus performed a comprehensive structured literature search of the Medline database for articles published between January 1st, 1969 and December 31st, 2021. Myocardial infarction in young adults can be broadly divided into two groups: cases of angiographically normal coronary arteries; and cases of coronary artery disease of varying aetiology. There are several possible mechanisms underlying the association between acute coronary syndrome and nephrotic syndrome: (1) coronary thrombosis related to hypercoagulability and/or platelet hyperactivity; (2) atherosclerosis related to hyperlipidaemia; and (3) drug treatment. All of these mechanisms must be evaluated systematically in the acute phase of disease because they evolve rapidly with the treatment of nephrotic syndrome. In this review, we propose a decision algorithm for the management of acute coronary syndrome in the context of nephrotic syndrome. The final part of the review presents the short- and medium-term therapeutic strategies available. Thromboembolism related to nephrotic syndrome is a rare non-atherosclerotic cause of acute coronary syndrome, and prospective studies are needed to evaluate a systematic approach with personalized therapeutic strategies.

A case report of successful complex percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome in a paediatric patient with familial hypercholesterolaemia. Eur Heart J Case Rep 2021; 5:ytab175. [PMID: 34142008 DOI: 10.1093/ehjcr/ytab175] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 11/02/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a primary genetic dyslipidaemia characterized by elevation in serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and its deposition in systemic arteries, which causes premature atherosclerosis. CASE SUMMARY A 10-year-old girl presented with severe symptomatic coronary artery disease. She demonstrated characteristic morphological features of FH. Despite aggressive medical management and lipid-lowering therapy, her symptoms were not relieved and she had dynamic electrocardiogram changes. Coronary angiography showed a distal left main coronary artery lesion along with significant lesions in ostio-proximal and mid-left circumflex artery which were managed by provisional left main coronary artery to left circumflex artery stenting technique, with good immediate- and short-term results and angina relief. DISCUSSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a paediatric patient with FH and acute coronary syndrome treated with percutaneous coronary intervention to left main coronary artery and left circumflex artery using provisional stenting technique. Revascularization strategies for symptomatic coronary artery disease in paediatric patients with FH have multiple unique challenges and remain an unexplored and under-reported subject.
