“…Among 3550 KS subjects, Swerdlow et al (7) reported that CCD was the specific cause of mortality in five patients (Standardized Mortality Ratio = 7.3). To the best of our knowledge, all cases of CCD in KS (68,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94) are fully reported in the Supplemental Data 1, see section on supplementary data given at the end of this article.…”

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is the most frequently occurring sex chromosomal aberration in males, with an incidence of about 1 in 500 -700 newborns. Data acquired from large registry-based studies revealed an increase in mortality rates among KS patients when compared with mortality rates among the general population. Among all causes of death, metabolic, cardiovascular, and hemostatic complication seem to play a pivotal role. KS is associated, as are other chromosomal pathologies and genetic diseases, with cardiac congenital anomalies that contribute to the increase in mortality. The aim of the current study was to systematically review the relationships between KS and the cardiovascular system and hemostatic balance. In summary, patients with KS display an increased cardiovascular risk profile, characterized by increased prevalence of metabolic abnormalities including Diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, and alterations in biomarkers of cardiovascular disease. KS does not, however, appear to be associated with arterial hypertension. Moreover, KS patients are characterized by subclinical abnormalities in left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function and endothelial function, which, when associated with chronotropic incompetence may led to reduced cardiopulmonary performance. KS patients appear to be at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, attributing to an increased risk of thromboembolic events with a high prevalence of recurrent venous ulcers, venous insufficiency, recurrent venous and arterial thromboembolism with higher risk of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. It appears that cardiovascular involvement in KS is mainly due to chromosomal abnormalities rather than solely on low serum testosterone levels. On the basis of evidence acquisition and authors' own experience, a flowchart addressing the management of cardiovascular function and prognosis of KS patients has been developed for clinical use.

“…When adult patients are evaluated, the possibility of acquired as well as congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas has to be taken into account. Clinically, the two conditions can "Clinical and follow-up data of cases 5-19 have been the subject of earlier reports [ 2,7,19,20,23,35,36,38]. bRCA = right coronary artery; LAD = left anterior descending coronary artery; CX = circumflex coronary artery.…”

“…To study the morphologic characteristics of coronary arteriovenous fistulas, we reviewed the coronary angiograms of 15 reported patients (cases [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and reported the findings in four additional cases. The four new cases with CAVFs (patients 1-4) had a mean age of 47.7 years (range 33-63 years).…”

The coronary angiographic features of four new cases of congenital coronary arteriovenous fistulas (CAVFs) are described, and the angiograms of 15 reported cases are reviewed. The morphologic appearance of CAVFs varied from a small discrete single channel to a highly complex plexiform network with a maze of fine vessels. The majority of CAVFs in our series were composed of a single channel. Aneurysmal formation was present in 26% (6/23). Aneurysmal formation involved only the pathway and/or the termination, but never originated from the beginning of the CAVFs.
