Introduction: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an ultra-rare genetic disease caused by a mutation in the gene, located on the X chromosome. This gene codes for the protein tafazzin, which is involved in the metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid - cardiolipin. Symptoms of this genetic defect include dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, growth retardation, reduced cholesterol levels, increased serum lactic acid levels, and hypoglycemia in the neonatal period.

Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) cardiomyopathy is a rare congenital cardiomyopathy which is characterized by prominent and extensive trabeculation and deep intertrabecular recesses communicating with left ventricular cavity. Here we present a rare case report of patient with severe secondary Mitral regurgitation (MR) and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in LVNC cardiomyopathy who underwent MV Repair using ring annuloplasty with #28 CG future ring and kay's suture annuloplasty for severe TR and its postoperative management. Patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged with improved hemodynamics.

Left ventricular (LV) non-compaction (NC) is a rare ventricular phenotype characterized by a thin compacted epicardial layer and an extensive non-compacted endocardial layer with prominent LV trabeculations and deep intertrabecular recesses. According to the recent literature, no information is available regarding the abnormalities of the aortic valve annulus (AVA) in LVNC. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to perform a detailed analysis of the AVA by three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE) in LVNC patients and to compare the findings with matched healthy controls.

Noncompaction myocardium (NCM) is a rare cardiac condition characterized by prominent trabeculation, associated with an increased risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and embolism. We report the case of a 46-year-old man, smoker, with a family history of sudden cardiac death, who presented to the emergency department with progressive dyspnea. Echocardiography revealed dilated cardiomyopathy with severe biventricular dysfunction and marked apical trabeculation of the left ventricle.

Background: To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment response, and prognosis of patients with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and homocysteinemia complicated by cardiovascular manifestations and to raise awareness regarding MMA and homocysteinemia.
Methods: A total of 16 children diagnosed with MMA and homocysteinemia with cardiovascular manifestations who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from June 2018 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.
Results: All 16 patients had varying degrees of neurological manifestations, and all had cardiovascular manifestations, 3 patients were diagnosed with MMA and homocysteinemia by newborn screening and received conventional treatment, the remaining 13 patients had nausea, vomiting, anemia, recurrent pneumonitis, respiratory distress, and lethargy as their first symptoms.
