Abstract

Objective: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DC) results from dilatation of one or both ventricles and is caused by systolic dysfunction. Rickets are a rare cause of DC. Here, we present a case series of DC due to rickets, which was successfully treated. Materials and Methods: Patients were followed-up at paediatric intensive care unit (ICU) with the diagnosis of DC-related heart failure, which was retrospectively evaluated. Patients with a disease other than hypocalcaemia and low vitamin D levels, which can cause heart failure, were excluded from this study. Results: Six patients who developed rickets-related heart failure were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 6.4±3.2 months. All patients had growth developmental delay. Although most of the patients were admitted to the hospital due to respiratory distress, congestive heart failure findings were detected at the first examination of all the patients. The vitamin D levels of all patients were low. While the pre-treatment mean ejection fraction (EF) of the patients was 35.16% (±10.66), the post-treatment mean EF was found to be 55% (±9.83). Significant improvement in left ventricular function was observed post-treatment. Conclusion: In patients admitted to the ICU due to the diagnosis of heart failure, rickets should be considered and treated, considering that it can cause many other complications, including vitamin D deficiency, cardiomyopathy and cardiac dysfunction.

Özet

Amaç: Dilate kardiyomiyopati (DK), bir ya da her iki ventrikülün dilatasyonu ve sistolik disfonksiyonu sonucu ortaya çıkan bir durumdur. Raşitizm, DK’nin çok nadir bir nedenidir. Bu makalede, raşitizme bağlı DK gelişen ve başarılı şekilde tedavi edilen hasta serisi sunulacaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Hastanemiz çocuk yoğun bakım ünitesinde (YBÜ) DK’ye bağlı kalp yetmezliği tanılarıyla takip edilmiş olan hastalar geriye dönük olarak tarandı. Hipokalsemi ve D vitamini düşüklüğü dışında kalp yetmezliğine neden olacak başka bir hastalığı olan hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. Bulgular: Raşitizm ile ilişkili kalp yetmezliği gelişen altı hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 6,4±3,2 aydı. Tüm hastalarda büyüme gelişme geriliği mevcuttu. En sık solunum sıkıntısı nedeniyle hastaneye getirilmiş olmalarına rağmen, hepsinde ilk muayene sırasında konjestif kalp yetmezliği bulguları tespit edildi. D vitamini düzeyleri tüm hastalarda düşük saptandı. Hastalarımızın tedavi öncesi ejeksiyon fraksiyonu ortalamaları %35,16 (±10,66) iken tedavi sonrası %55 (±9,83) olarak saptandı. Tedavi sonrasında sol ventrikül fonksiyonunda belirgin iyileşme tespit edildi. Sonuç: YBÜ’ye kalp yetmezliği tanısı ile yatırılan hastalarda raşitizm akla gelmeli ve D vitamini eksikliği, kardiyomiyopati ve kardiyak fonksiyon bozukluğu dahil diğer birçok komplikasyona neden olabileceğinden mutlaka tedavi edilmelidir.
