The urgency of the topic Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and cardiac dysfunction in fetuses of diabetic mother accounts for 15% of fetal cardiomyopathy, increasing perinatal mortality by 3%, accounting for 15% of causes general death However, this is also one of the rare fetal cardiomyopathy that can be recovered if detected early and treated promptly Pre-pregnancy diabetes and uncontrolled diabetes have been shown to increase the incidence of this disease in the fetus But if a diabetic mother is accompanied by obesity, over-weight gain during pregnancy or having fetal macrosomia could increase the risk of fetal HCM, and how does the HCM affect to fetal postpartum outcomes are issues that have not been clarified yet At the Department of Endocrinology-Diabetes of Bach Mai Hospital, a large number of diabetic mothers are examined and treated, even though there is a multidisciplinary combination with extensive experience in managing diabetes in pregnancy, but still encounter many difficulties in controlling postpartum events in the fetus With the trend of developing fetal echocardiography (FE) applications in evaluating fetal cardiac function and also stemming from practical needs on the subject, we performed the topic "Research on hypertrophic myocardiopathy and cardiac function by ultrasound in fetuses of diabetic mothers" with the desire to learn more about what is left unanswered The study was conducted with the following two objectives: To determine the prevalence, characteristics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac function in fetuses of diabetic mothers To survey on some factors of mother and fetus related to fetal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy New conclusions of the thesis This is the first study in Vietnam determine the prevalence, characteristics of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac function in fetuses of diabetic mothers and survey on some factors of mother and fetus related to fetal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy The descriptive longitudinal follow-up study on 511 pregnant women ensures rigorous scientificity and high reliability Diabetic mothers were accompanied by obesity, overweight gain during pregnancy, fetus that "older than gestational age" could increase the risk of developing HCM in the fetus and this HCM condition could increase the risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, low minute Apgar score less than With HbA1C value increased more than 6,1% could be predicted the occurrence of HCM in the fetuses of diabetic mothers The composition of the thesis The thesis consists of 128 pages, including: introduction pages, overview 45 pages, research designs and methods 18 pages, results 24 pages, discussion 35 pages, conclusions pages, recommendation page, limitation of the thesis page The thesis consists of 23 tables, 19 charts, 36 pictures, schematics, 159 references (16 Vietnamese documents and 143 English documents) Chapter 1: OVERVIEW 1.1 Background of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiac dysfunction in fetuses of diabetic mothers Diabetes in pregnancy is divided into groups: pre-gestational diabetes and gestational diabetes According to the International Diabetes Federation, Vietnam is one of the countries with the highest rates of diabetes in the world In addition, the prevalence of gestational diabetes increased significantly from 2,1 to 39% according to different diagnostic criteria Diabetes in pregnancy has many consequences for the mother and fetus Fetal HCM due to diabtetic mother is a common complication, accounting for about 33,3% of well-controlled diabetic mothers and up to 75% in uncontrolled diabetic mothers Fetal cardiac dysfunction is also a frequent complication in these fetuses with mainly reduced diastolic function at the rate of 15 - 40% and 5% systolic heart failure Fetal HCM related to diabetic pregnancy is an abnormal thickening of the ventricular walls or interventricular septal (IVS) due to maternal hyperglycemia without other cardiomyopathic etiologies in the fetus Pathogenesis mechanisms through four main pathways: increased fetal blood insulin, changes in the signaling pathway to the target heart gene, overproduction of oxidative reagents and increased fetal growth factors Histopathological damage of fetal cardiomyopathy due to diabetic mother is glycogen deposition, increases protein synthesis mainly myosin, leading to an increase in myocardial cells size especially in IVS According to the recommendations of the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association on the diagnosis of HCM, the diagnosis of fetal HCM when the thickness of any cardiac walls or IVS is measured at the end of diastole on time mode ultrasound is more than time of standard deviations from the mean of normal fetuses at the same gestational age HCM in the fetus due to diabetic mother has a number of specific characteristics such as: common in the last months of pregnancy, most hypertrophy of the IVS, the severity of hypertrophy is usually moderate, less likely to obstruct the output of the ventricle, may present transiently in the fetus and especially must occur in the fetus whose mother was diagnosed with diabetes during pregnancy Fetal cardiac dysfunction due to diabetes is often discreet diastolic function However, in order to diagnose fetal anomaly in diabetic mother still need to eliminate other HCM etiologies in fetus, so the diagnosis and monitoring after birth in these fetuses are very important 1.2 Characteristic of structure and function of normal fetal heart and the role of echocardiography in assessing fetal cardiac thickness and function The physiology of the fetal circulation is really different from after birth The fetal myocardium has inefficient contraction due to immature myocardial cells, underdeveloped T-duct system, metabolism dependent on lactate metabolism with low energy source, myocardium contains many protein components less differentiated, large intracellular matrix makes fetal myocardium less dilated and low elasticity, leading to reduced "inherent" physiological diastolic function in the fetus During pregnancy, fetal myocardial cells gradually improve in quality and increase in size, reduce intracellular matrix, arrange and differentiate the structure into a 3-layer pattern as in adulthood, thereby fetal cardiac function gradually matures and improves With the existence of internal and external cardiac flows, the impact of preload and afterload on fetal cardiac performance is also different from that of adulthood Therefore, the assessment of fetal cardiac function must be consistent with the development stage of the fetus Fetal echocardiography (FE) was introduced more than 50 years ago with the first role of identifying heart defects Nowadays, FE becomes more and more useful in evaluating fetal heart function from an early stage, in order to minimize fetal mortality Most of the evaluation parameters for fetal cardaic function have been widely used in children and adults such as quantifying the velocity of flow through the heart valves, estimating the strock volume, cardiac output, velocity and the teleport, deform into the heart FE can overcome and supplement the disadvantages of other techniques in evaluating fetal heart function but there are also certain difficulties and must be adjusted according to gestational age 1.3 Overview of studies on fetal HCM and cardiac dysfunction due to diabetic mother In the world, the first case of HCM was recorded in an infant of a diabetic mother by Maron et al in 1937 Since 1992, many studies have presented the prevalence, characteristics of HCM and cardiac dysfunction of fetuses due to diabetic mother, and proving the relationship between this complication and type of diabetic mother, the severity of maternal blood glucose, as well as the role of glucose control in limiting this pathology in the fetus However, there have been no studies evaluating the impact of obesity and the excessive weight gain during pregnancy on fetal HCM and fetal cardiac dysfunction or its impact on postpartum outcomes In Vietnam, studies of FE in evaluation of cardiac function is still new Nowadays, the best FE study in our country was belonged to Le Kim Tuyen (2014) on the role of FE in diagnosing congenital heart disease before birth In the context, the incidence of diabetic mother in our country is increasing Many studies by local authors have determined the prevalence of perinatal events of fetuses whose mother has diabetes during pregnancy as well as the relationship with the mother's severity of hyperglycemia However, there have not been any studies evaluating the association between fetal HCM and perinatal outcomes of these fetuses Chapter 2: RESEARCH DESIGNS AND METHODS 2.1 Subjects 2.1.1 Inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria a Inclusion criteria:  Pregnant women greater than or equal to 18 years
