Mar 1, 2014 · These myocardial invaginations have been variably called clefts, crypts, fissures, crevices, and atypical LV noncompaction.

There is a complex interplay between orofacial clefts (OFCs) or cleft of the lip and palate and cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac diseases. The presence of maternal cardiovascular risk factors serves as a potent predisposing factor to the ...

Congenital heart disease rates were significantly higher in patients with cleft palate (CP) compared to other cleft types (χ 2, P = .009). Eighty-one (97.6%) out of 83 +CHD patients were diagnosed prior to initial CL/P surgical assessment.

VCFS includes many common features: cleft palate, heart defects, and a characteristic facial appearance. Other common findings include minor learning problems and speech and feeding problems. Velocardiofacial syndrome is the most common syndrome associated with a …

Myocardial clefts (MCs) are narrow, deep invaginations within the myocardium, localized predominantly in the basal inferior septum and left ventricular (LV) free walls [1]. The terms "crypts" and "clefts" have been used interchangeably to describe recesses containing luminal blood into the otherwise normal compact myocardium [1].

The present study aims to describe the clinical, electrocardiographic, and echocardiographic cardiological findings in a group of patients with oral clefts.

Jun 7, 2021 · Cleft mitral valve leaflet (CMVL) is the most common cause of congenital mitral regurgitation (MR). CMVL results from congenital mitral hypoplasia and is most often associated with other congenital heart defects, usually endocardial …

Dec 4, 2023 · Myocardial crypts (or myocardial clefts or fissures) refer to discrete clefts or fissures in otherwise compacted myocardium of the left ventricle. They are thought to represent a distinctive morphological expression of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, occurring with different frequency in these patients with or without left ventricular hypertrophy.

Myocardial clefts are congenital abnormalities related to myocardial fiber or fascicle disarray that have been described in healthy volunteers as well as in the setting of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Jan 19, 2017 · New research identifies the gene mutation that causes cleft lip and palate. Credit: Medical News Today. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that approximately 2,650 babies...
