The lethal strange disease for the first time recorded in Vietnam

This strange disease has claimed the lives of children in a family of 26-year-old patients and now his brother is also at risk.

In the afternoon of August 3, Cho Ray Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City) said that it has successfully rescued a female patient with ventricular arrhythmia . This is a strange disease for the first time that BV received and treated. The patient is Ka A Huu (26 years old, living in Lam Dong).

The patient said, before the hospital admission, she suddenly felt dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, unsteady, feeling the heart beating strongly, palpitations, nervousness, sweating, shortness of breath, so that the family members could be taken to Lam Dong provincial general hospital for treatment.

After examination, ECG measurement, doctors diagnosed patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias quite complicated. The doctors were shocked and quickly transferred patients to the higher level hospital.

The doctor explained the patient's strange disease.

Exploiting the patient's medical history, the doctors at Cho Ray realized that she had never had any of the symptoms before. She also did not have a history of cardiovascular disease or other internal surgery. However, according to the patient's family, 17 years ago, Huu's youngest sister (7 years old) suddenly died while working in the fields without any cause.

During the previous screening, two other patients' siblings were also found to have ventricular arrhythmias. From these and clinical symptoms, the BS determined that patients with ventricular myocardial disease must have arrhythmias and right heart failure.

The patient is Ka A Huu re-examination.

In order to resolve this urgent situation, the patient must use a vibrator to prevent sudden death due to irregular heartbeats, combining drug use. After more than two weeks of treatment, Ms. Huu's heart rate gradually stabilized, she had good contact, the risk of sudden death was prevented.

According to Dr. Dang Quy Duc, Deputy Dean of arrhythmia disorder, Cho Ray Hospital, ventricular myocardial disease must cause abnormalities in ventricular structure in the heart muscle, causing heart muscle cells to be replaced by fibroblasts and fat cells. .'Symptoms of the disease are palpitations, lightheadedness, fainting, even sudden death due to ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure without cause. Another sign is that there are people who die young in the family without knowing why. To know if they have the disease, people only need to regularly check, measure ECG, Holter ECG, echocardiography, MRI. In cases where it is necessary to conduct disease surgery , 'said Dr. Duc.

According to Doctor of Pediatrics II Nguyen Tri Thuc, Deputy Director of Center of Cardiology, Cho Ray Hospital, in Vietnam, no medical documents have recorded this case . 'Diagnosis of patients is based on 6 factors, including patients with regional / global dysfunction and structural changes, abnormal cardiac depolarization, conduction disorders, arrhythmias and history. family , 'said Dr. Thuc.

The patient was lucky enough to be hospitalized in time so he was saved successfully.

Right ventricular myocardial disease (ARVC / D) was first discovered in 1911. It was not until 2000, the European Heart Association (ESO) and the Heart Disease Science Association of the World Health Organization arrested. I am interested in this disease. In the United States, this disease accounts for only about 4% of the total number of people with heart disease. In Northern Italy, for every 10 people who die suddenly, 1 person is involved in the above pathology. In particular, if there is a family member with a history of disease, the risk of other members is also sick and dies up to 35%.
