| Lutembacher's syndrome is a rare form of [[congenital heart disease]]. It refers to a combination of congenital [[atrial septal defect]], or even a [[patent foramen ovale]] (PFO) complicated by an acquired [[mitral stenosis]].<ref name=Cecil_400>{{Harvnb|Goldman|2011|pp=400}}</ref> The atrial septal defect is usually a specific type called a [[ostium secundum|secundum]] atrial septal defect. This syndrome was named after René Lutembacher, a french cardiologist, who described the syndrome in 1916.<ref name="pmid16336826">{{cite journal| author=Shen XQ, Zhou SH, Zhou T, Qi SS, Fang ZF, Lv XL| title=Transcatheter treatment of Lutembacher syndrome. | journal=Chin Med J (Engl) | year= 2005 | volume= 118 | issue= 21 | pages= 1843-5 | pmid=16336826 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16336826 }} </ref>

| |
| ==Pathophysiology==
| |
| The presence of both ASD and mitral stenosis occuring together, usually modify the clinical and hemodynamic manifestation of each other.
| |
| The presence of an ASD creates a second exit ([[left-to-right shunt]]) for the blood in the left atrium; consequently reducing the hemodynamic effects of a severe mitral stenosis. In the same fashion, the pressure in the left atrium, pulmonary veins and the pulmonary capillaries decrease if the ASD is large. Therefore, the typical presentation of mitral stenosis as a result of [[pulmonary venous congestion]] such as [[orthopnea]], paroxsymal nocturnal dyspnea, [[hemoptysis]] and [[pulmonary edema]] are attenuated or diminished, and are often substituted by symptoms of low volume output such as [[weakness]] and [[fatigue]].<ref name="pmid16198889">{{cite journal| author=Olivares-Reyes A, Al-Kamme A| title=Lutembacher's syndrome with small atrial septal defect diagnosed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography that underwent mitral valve replacement. | journal=J Am Soc Echocardiogr | year= 2005 | volume= 18 | issue= 10 | pages= 1105 |pmid=16198889 | doi=10.1016/j.echo.2005.01.017 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16198889 }} </ref>

| This is a very rare disease. The incidence is 0.001/1000000<ref name="pmid3354470">{{cite journal| author=Berry NS, Bauman JL, Gallastegui JL, Bauma W, Beckman KJ, Hariman RJ| title=Analysis of antiarrhythmic drug concentrations determined during electrophysiologic drug testing in patients with inducible tachycardias. | journal=Am J Cardiol | year= 1988 | volume= 61 | issue= 11 | pages= 922-4 | pmid=3354470 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=3354470 }} </ref>. This syndrome is more frequently seen in adults because the mitral stenosis is usually an acquired valvulopathy of rheumatic origin. It is also more commonly observed in female patients because both ASD and MS are more prevalent in this gender.<ref name="pmid16198889">{{cite journal| author=Olivares-Reyes A, Al-Kamme A| title=Lutembacher's syndrome with small atrial septal defect diagnosed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography that underwent mitral valve replacement. | journal=J Am Soc Echocardiogr | year= 2005 | volume= 18 | issue= 10 | pages= 1105 |pmid=16198889 | doi=10.1016/j.echo.2005.01.017 | pmc= |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16198889 }} </ref>

| ==Complications and Prognosis== | | ==[[{{PAGENAME}} pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]== |
| Complications are usually related to a late diagnosis. They include [[pulmonary hypertension]], [[heart failure]] and [[infective endocarditis]]. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment has a good prognostic value.

| ===History and Symptoms===
| | [[{{PAGENAME}} epidemiology and demographics#Epidemiology|Epidemiology]] |
| The presentation depends on the size of ASD, extent of mitral stenosis, compliance of the right ventricle and degree of changes in the pulmonary circulation.<ref name="pmid16198889">{{cite journal| author=Olivares-Reyes A, Al-Kamme A| title=Lutembacher's syndrome with small atrial septal defect diagnosed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography that underwent mitral valve replacement. | journal=J Am Soc Echocardiogr | year= 2005 | volume= 18 | issue= 10 | pages= 1105 | pmid=16198889 | doi=10.1016/j.echo.2005.01.017 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16198889 }} </ref>
| | | [[{{PAGENAME}} epidemiology and demographics#Demographics|Demographics]] |
| Symptoms can be due to:
| |
| *[[Heart failure]] - [[weakness]], [[fatigue]], [[tachypnea]], [[dyspnea]], [[confusion]], [[paroxsymal nocturnal dyspnea]]
| |
| *[[Arrythmias]] - [[Shortness of breath]], [[palpitations]], [[angina]], [[exercise intolerance]]
| |
| *[[Paradoxical emboli]] - [[Stroke]]
| |
| | |
| ===Physical Examination===
| |
| The physical findings in an adult with Lutembacher's syndrome depends on:
| |
|
| |
|
| * Size of the ASD
| | ==[[{{PAGENAME}} natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]== |
| * Degree of [[Left-to-right shunt|left-to-right shunt]]
| | [[{{PAGENAME}} natural history, complications and prognosis#Natural History|Natural History]] |
| * Pressure in [[Pulmonary artery|pulmonary vasculature]]
| | | [[{{PAGENAME}} natural history, complications and prognosis#Complications|Complications]] |
| * Severity of the mitral stenosis
| | | [[{{PAGENAME}} natural history, complications and prognosis#Prognosis|Prognosis]] |
| * Distensibility of the [[right ventricle]]

| ===Inspection===
| | | [[{{PAGENAME}} physical examination|Physical Examination]] |
| *Precordial bulge: The [[left-to-right shunt]]ing of blood causes [[right atrial enlargement]] that can present as a precordial bulge. The precordial bulge can cause a counter development of [[Harrison's groove]] that are horizontal depressions along the sixth and seventh [[costal cartilage]]s at the lower margin of the [[thorax]] where the [[diaphragm]] attaches to the [[rib]]s.
| | | [[{{PAGENAME}} electrocardiogram|Electrocardiogram]] |
| * Precordial lift: An increased [[Left-to-right shunt|left-to-right atrial shunt]] can cause a hyperdynamic right ventricular flow that can be seen as precordial lift on inspection.
| | | [[{{PAGENAME}} X-Ray|X-Ray]] |
| | | | [[{{PAGENAME}} echocardiography|Echocardiography]] |
| ===Palpation===
| |
| * Right ventricular impulse: An increased [[Left-to-right shunt|left-to-right atrial shunt]] can cause a hyperdynamic right ventricular impulse or [[heave]]. The heave can be best palpated at the left [[sternal]] border or the subxiphoid area.
| |
| * Pulmonary artery pulsations: Pulsatile, enlarged [[pulmonary artery]] pulsation can be felt at the second left intercostal space. These are more pronounced in patients with large [[left-to-right shunt]]s. Patients with obstruction to right ventricular outflow have a less dynamic right ventricular impulse and may present with more of a tapping or thrusting quality.
| |
| | |
| ===Auscultation===
| |
| The classic presentation of pure mitral stenosis such as the loud first heart sound, opening snap, mid-diastolic rumble with presystolic accentuation are not usually heard.<ref name="pmid16198889">{{cite journal| author=Olivares-Reyes A, Al-Kamme A| title=Lutembacher's syndrome with small atrial septal defect diagnosed by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography that underwent mitral valve replacement. | journal=J Am Soc Echocardiogr | year= 2005 | volume= 18 | issue= 10 | pages= 1105 | pmid=16198889 | doi=10.1016/j.echo.2005.01.017 | pmc= |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16198889 }}

| ===Electrocardiogram===
| |
| | |
| EKG features may include a normal sinus rhythm, normal PR interval/normal QTc, right bundle branch block (RBBB), bi-atrial enlargement, left ventricular hypertrophy.
| |
| | |
| ===Chest X-Ray===
| |
| | |
| CXR findings on an anteroposterior view of the chest x-ray in Lutembacher's syndrome may include:
| |
| | |
| 1) Prominent [[pulmonary artery]], increased pulmonary vascular markings.
| |
| | |
| 2) [[Cardiomegaly]] due to [[right atrial enlargement|right atrial]] and ventricular enlargement.
| |
| | |
| ===Echocardiography===
| |
| | |
| This is often required in order to make a diagnosis. It can be used to assess the degree of severity of the condition through the estimation of the left ventricular ejection fraction. Features may include left ventricular hypertrophy, bi-atrial enlargement and valvular thickenings and calcifications.
