Aim: Cardiomyopathies are defined as structural and functional abnormalities of the ventricular
myocardium. Cardiomyopathies are rare in children. In this study, the data of patients diagnosed
with cardiomyopathy that we followed in our hospital for a 2-year period were examined and
their results were evaluated. Method: The data of patients diagnosed with cardiomyopathy
between July 2020 and 2022 in the pediatric cardiology department were examined
retrospectively. Results: Cardiomyopathy was detected in 17 patients during the 2-year period.
The median age of the patients at diagnosis was 5 years (2 months - 14 years). 5 patients were
female and the remaining 12 patients were male. While 10 patients (58.8%) were diagnosed
with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), 5 patients (29.4%) were diagnosed with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy(HCMP), and 2 patients (11.7%) were diagnosed with restrictive
cardiomyopathy(RCMP). In patients with DCMP, viral myocarditis, neurometabolic diseases,
abnormal origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery, and
tachycardiomyopathy were among the etiological causes. HCMP and chronic myocarditis
secondary to Friedrich's ataxia were observed in one patient, while Pompe disease was detected
in 3 patients with HCMP. No specific etiological factor has been found so far in two patients
diagnosed with RCMP. During the follow-up, 3 patients with DCMP died. A patient with DKMP
underwent heart transplantation. Conclusion: Cardiomyopathies are an important cause of
morbidity and mortality in children. In etiology, attention should be paid to neurometabolic and
genetic factors, coronary artery diseases and arrhythmias. Early diagnosis and treatment are
important for survival.
Amaç:Kardiyomiyopatiler, ventriküler miyokardın yapısal ve fonksiyonel anormallikleri olarak
tanımlanır. Kardiyomiyopatiler çocuklarda nadir görülür. Bu çalışmada hastanemizde 2 yıllık
süreçte takip ettiğimiz kardiyomiyopati tanısı alan hastaların verileri incelenerek sonuçları
değerlendirilmiştir. Yöntem:2020-2022 Temmuz tarihleri arasında Mersin Üniversitesi Tıp
Fakültesi Hastanesi Çocuk Kardiyoloji bölümünde kardiyomiyopati tanısı alan hastaların verileri
geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular:2 yıllık süreçte 17 hastada kardiyomiyopati tespit
edildi. Hastaların tanı esnasındaki yaş ortancası 5 yıl ( 2 ay- 14 yıl) idi. 5 hasta kız , geri kalan 12
hasta erkek idi. 10 hasta (%58.8) dilate kardiyomiyopati (DKMP) tanısı alırken, 5 hasta (%29.4)
hipertrofik kardiyomiyopati (HKMP), 2 hasta (%11.7) ise restriktif kardiyomiyopati(RKMP)
tanısı aldı. DKMP tanısı alan hastalarda, viral miyokardite sekonder DKMP, nörometabolik
hastalıklar, sol koroner arterin pulmoner arterden anormal çıkışı ve taşikardiyomiyopati
etiyolojik nedenler arasında yer almaktaydı. Bir hastada Friedrich ataksisine sekonder HKMP ve
kronik miyokardit görülürken, üç hastada ise Pompe hastalığı ve HKMP tespit edildi. RKMP
tanısı alan iki hastada ise şu ana kadar spesifk bir etiyolojik faktör bulunamadı. İzlemde DKMP
olan hastalardan üç hasta ex oldu. DKMP olan bir hastaya kalp transplantasyonu yapıldı.
Tartışma:Kardiyomiyopatiler çocuklarda önemli bir morbidite ve mortalite nedenidir.
Etiyolojide nörometabolik ve genetik faktörlere, koroner arter hastalıklarına ve aritmilere dikkat
edilmelidir. Erken tanı ve tedavi sağkalımda önemlidir.
