Dermatologic manifestations of pediatric cardiovascular diseases: Skin as a reflection of the heart

Le résumé fourni par la source

Cutaneous disease can often be an initial clue of an underlying cardiovascular disease. Many congenital conditions (ie, Noonan syndrome with multiple lentigines, Carney complex, and Fabry disease) and acquired conditions may present initially with specific cutaneous features that should prompt clinicians to conduct a full cardiac workup. Given the extensive number of conditions with both cardiovascular and cutaneous findings, this review will focus on diseases with cardiocutaneous pathology with hopes of raising clinician awareness of these associations to decrease morbidity and mortality, as several of these diseases often result in fatal outcomes.
