Abstract:
We herein report a patient with type I CD36 deficiency. The patient was initially suspected of having isolated cardiac sarcoidosis based on the presence of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, delayed myocardial enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diffuse accumulation of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) on cardiac positron emission tomography (PET). Our findings suggest that the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy associated with CD36 deficiency is often missed, highlighting the importance of a differential diagnosis of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis.
摘要:
我们在此报告一名I型CD36缺乏症患者。由于存在非持续性室性心动过速,患者最初被怀疑患有孤立性心脏结节病。磁共振成像(MRI)延迟心肌增强,和18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖(18F-FDG)在心脏正电子发射断层扫描(PET)上的扩散积累。我们的研究结果表明,与CD36缺乏相关的心肌病的诊断经常被错过,强调鉴别诊断孤立性心脏结节病的重要性。
