Patient Age Gender Clinical and echo features Outcome
1 (included in Table 3 above) 2 months female Twin 2. Severe heart failure due to depressed function, mild MR Heart failure and ventricular function improved over 3 months. Left ventricular hypertrophy appeared after improvement of LV function. MR remained mild
2 4 months female Heart failure. Dilated left ventricle with ejection fraction of 15% Followed up for 18 months. Heart failure decreased and ventricular function improved to 40%
3 2 months female Heart failure needing hospital admission. Coarctation of the aorta with a gradient of 40 mmHg. Low ejection fraction of 40% Heart failure improved over 2 months. Ejection fraction improved to 60%. Waiting for coarctation repair
4 15 years female Heart failure with history of similar condition 7 years before. Transient hemiparesis. Echo: ejection fraction 25%, LV thrombus that resolved with anticoagulation Improved clinically over 6 weeks. Ejection fraction improved to 60%. Splenic haematoma secondary to warfarin
