Although tetralogy of Fallot is commonly associated with other congenital heart defects, it is rarely found in conjunction with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. We describe the cases of 2 neonates with this rare condition, both of whom required surgical intervention during infancy. Because hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is frequently familial, and tetralogy of Fallot is commonly found in patients diagnosed with chromosomal anomalies, we speculate about a possible genetic cause for this association.
虽然法洛四联症通常与其他先天性心脏缺陷相关,但它很少与肥厚型心肌病同时出现。我们描述了2例患有这种罕见病症的新生儿病例,这两名患儿在婴儿期均需要手术干预。由于肥厚型心肌病常常具有家族性,且法洛四联症常见于被诊断患有染色体异常的患者中,我们推测了这种关联可能的遗传原因。
