Presentation
Patients presenting with complete Uhl anomaly should be considered for cardiac transplantation. [orpha.net]
At present, only about 84 cases have been reported in over a century. [nigjcardiol.org]
However, adult Uhl's has also been rarely described. [4] Case presentations have varied from prenatal diagnoses [5], [6] to nonparoxysmal atrioventricular junctional tachycardia with Mobitz I block in adults [7] to asymptomatic presentations. [4] The [heartviews.org]
Presentation usually occurs in the neonatal and childhood years with clinical aspects of congestive heart failure. [radiopaedia.org]
Entire Body System
- Atrial Septal Defect
They made a 4 mm atrial septal fenestration; whereas we completely closed the atrial septal defect. A fenestration would have been made if the right atrial pressure had elevated. [academic.oup.com]
The treatment is surgical repair frequently with a bidirectional Glenn shunt which is performed by closing the tricuspid valve and creating an atrial septal defect, effectively excluding the right ventricle. [healio.com]

- Fatigue
Symptoms and Signs UHL symptoms include dyspnoea, fatigue, chest pain, syncope on exertion, and non-specific systolic murmur. The latter can be a cause of cardiac failure and sudden death in neonates and young adults. [dianamossop.com]
A 12 year old boy was admitted with the complaint of fatigue with effort. A holosystolic murmur was heard on left lower sternal border. Electrocardiography showed right atrial dilation and low voltage in all leads. [heart.bmj.com]
Symptoms are dyspnoea, fatigue, chest pain and syncope on exertion, non-specific systolic murmur. It is a cause of cardiac failure and sudden death in neonates and young adults. We thank Martin Lehn, Germany, for information submitted. [whonamedit.com]
- Hypoxemia
He presented as a neonate with severe hypoxemia (arterial P o 2 of 29 mm Hg) and functional pulmonary atresia. [ahajournals.org]
Hypercarbia and hypoxemia should be avoided. Perioperative invasive cardiac monitoring is highly recommended. Prophylactic antibiotics must be given as indicated. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]
The patient was admitted to the hospital due to a respiratory infection, presenting with fever, dyspnea and hypoxemia (peripheral oxygen saturation of 55%). [revportcardiol.org]

The presentation may vary from arrhythmia induced syncope or sudden cardiac death to a syndrome consistent with isolated right-sided heart failure, including 5: hepatomegaly jugular venous distension dyspnea cyanosis ECG sinus rhythm multi-component epsilon [radiopaedia.org]
In contrast to ARVD where the classic presentation is usually with ventricular arrhythmias, patients with Uhl’s Anomaly generally present with cyanosis, dyspnea and right sided failure, usually in infancy or early childhood. [chdbabies.com]
Abstract A 1-day-old female Holstein–Friesian calf was presented for severe dyspnea. Physical examination revealed respiratory distress, moderate edema of the ventral neck, and swollen jugular veins. The calf died and was submitted for necropsy. [journals.sagepub.com]

The clinical finding in Uhl's anomaly is heart failure with complaints of palpitation, syncope, tachycardia, and sudden death. [jcecho.org]

Workup
The patient was treated with optimal medical therapy while awaiting cardiac transplantation evaluation, but sadly, he died of progressive heart failure before workup was completed. There were no reported ventricular arrhythmias. [scmr.org]
Treatment
The material is in no way intended to replace professional medical care by a qualified specialist and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or treatment. [orpha.net]
Treatment Treatment relies on palliative care but the only hope of extended survival is surgery, which includes cardiac transplantation. [medigest.uk]
The response to medical treatment is poor and there is no known ideal treatment. Isolated cases of different surgical options have been described that include cardiac transplant, but there is still a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
Palliative treatment includes the treatment of heart failure using antifailure regimen, treatment of arrhythmias with antiarrhythmic drugs, and drainage of effusion.[10] Surgical palliative measures include closing the tricuspid valve, creating an atrial [nigjcardiol.org]
Prognosis

(Outcomes/Resolutions) The prognosis of Uhl Anomaly is dependent upon the severity of the signs and symptoms and associated complications, if any Individuals with mild conditions have better prognosis than those with severe symptoms and complications [dovemed.com]
The prognosis is related to the degree of right atrial dilatation and the cardiac compromise. Some cases have been reported to survive into adulthood. Benson CB, Brown DL, Roberts DJ. Uhl's anomaly of the heart mimicking Ebsteins anomaly in utero. [fetalultrasound.com]
Isolated cases of different surgical options have been described that include cardiac transplant, but there is still a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
The prognosis in the case of an infant is uniformly poor; though cases surviving surgery have been reported recently [3–6]. We report a 2-month-old infant undergoing surgical treatment for Uhl's anomaly with critical ventricular arrhythmia. [academic.oup.com]
Etiology
Schuster Springer Science & Business Media, 6 dic 2012 - 318 pagine Primary myocardial disease, nowadays referred to as congestive or, more re cently, dilating cardiomyopathy, comprises disorders of varied etiology. [books.google.it]
Abstract Uhl's anomaly is a rare cardiac disease of unknown etiology characterized by a markedly distended right ventricle because of partial or complete absence of right ventricular myocardium, which consequently develops a parchment-like appearance. [jstage.jst.go.jp]
Several points, however, still require clarification, such as the exclusive involvement of the right ventricle and the existence of a possible etiologic agent in the process. [scielo.br]
Further studies investigating risk factors and co-morbid birth defect associations with the etiology of hearing loss are warranted. [aap.confex.com]
