CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF PATIENTS WITH NON-COMPACTION CARDIOMYOPATHY AT HANOI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: Describe clinical characteristics and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with non-compaction cardiomyopathy at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. Material and methods: Descriptive study conducted at Hanoi Medical University Hospital from June 2022 to June 2023 on patients with non-compaction cardiomyopathy, having cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at Hanoi medical university. Results: There were 3 patients with a mean age of 35.6±10.2; including of 2 female patients and 1 male patient. 2 patients had shortness of breath, 1 patients had no symptom. All 3 patients had arrhythmia among them 2 patients had left bundle branch block, 1 patient had ventricular extrasystoles. On MRI, all 3 patients had left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy, mainly found in the middle and apex area, NC/C ratio of 4.5 ± 2.9. 1 patient had decreased ejection fraction. No one had the late myocardial enhancement. Conclusion: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was an important non-invasive imaging method in the diagnosis of non-compaction cardiomyopathy.
