Management of Friedreich Ataxia–Associated Cardiomyopathy in Pregnancy: A Review of the Literature
2024, American Journal of CardiologyThe Subclinical Cardiomyopathy of Friedreich's Ataxia in a Pediatric Population
2018, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :There are few reliable data documenting prevalence of FA cardiomyopathy in an exclusively pediatric population because almost all prior reports include populations of mixed age. Older patients may, through survival selection, either represent a population with less severe disease28 or have experienced progressive LV systolic dysfunction, wall thinning, and LV dilatation over time.5,29–32 Thus, prevalence of cardiomyopathic signs in heterogenous age groups may also be confounded by common, age-related disease processes such as hypertension, diabetes, and ischemic disease, resulting in a mixture of morphologic, systolic, and diastolic abnormalities that are not present in the pediatric population or related to the primary FA process itself.
Friedreich ataxia
2012, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The fine, unmyelinated fibers are involved to a limited extent (Nolano et al., 2001), and interstitial connective tissue is increased. The heart is clinically or subclinically affected in the vast majority of FRDA patients (Hewer, 1968; Geoffroy et al., 1976; Harding, 1981; Gottdiener et al., 1982; Filla et al., 1990; Muller-Felber et al., 1993; De Michele et al., 1996a). Enlargement of the heart is the typical finding, with thickening of the ventricular walls and interventricular septum (Pasternac et al., 1980; Gottdiener et al., 1982).
