  • Title: Tuberous sclerosis and cardiac tumors: new electrocardiographic finding in an infant.
    Author: Aslan E, Sap F, Sert A, Odabas D.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 2014 Oct; 41(5):530-2. PubMed ID: 25425989.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac rhabdomyoma, the primary cardiac tumor most often diagnosed in children, is frequently present in patients with tuberous sclerosis. Most pediatric patients with rhabdomyoma are asymptomatic; however, various electrocardiographic abnormalities can be detected, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, ectopic atrial tachycardia, and atrioventricular node dysfunction. We describe the case of a 10-month-old infant girl who had tuberous sclerosis and multiple cardiac rhabdomyomas. Her electrocardiographic presentation was notable for dome-shaped T waves and no ST segment in some leads. To our knowledge, this electrocardiographic finding has not been described in patients with tuberous sclerosis and cardiac masses.
