Summary: | Aim
. To establish the prevalence of myocarditis and primary (genetic) cardiomyopathies (CMP) among patients in a cardiology hospital.
Material and methods
. Medical records of 671 patients of the cardiology department were analyzed. The diagnosis at admission and at discharge was recorded. The diagnoses were divided into 7 following categories: hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart disease, idiopathic arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis and others. Types of myocarditis and cardiomyopathy, the presence of arrhythmias and heart failure were also recorded.
Results
. Myocarditis was diagnosed in 194 (28,9%) patients, cardiomyopathy — in 76 (11,3%) patients, combination of cardiomyopathy and myocarditis — in 26 (3,9%) patients. Myocarditis with the development of arrhythmia and heart dilatation prevailed as follows: 47,4 and 41,2%, respectively. The most numerous CMPs were left ventricular noncompaction (n=30), non-inflammatory dilated CMP (n=13), hypertrophic CMP (n=10) and arrhythmogenic CMP of the right ventricle (n=9). In the group with idiopathic arrhythmias, 64,3% of patients were diagnosed with myocarditis, and 19,4% — with cardiomyopathy.
Conclusion
. The prevalence of non-coronary myocardial diseases among patients in a cardiology hospital is high and amounts to 40,2%. The presence of arrhythmias, heart failure or dilated cardiomyopathy may be a manifestation of non-coronary myocardial diseases, and requires a comprehensive examination aimed, in particular, at ruling out or verifying the diagnosis of myocarditis. |
