contents A positive square-free integer is called a \textit{congruent number} if it arises as the area of a right triangle with rational side lengths. Let $ n = p_1p_2 \cdots p_t q $ be a square-free integer, where each $ p_i \equiv 1 \pmod{8} $ and $ q \equiv 3 \pmod{8} $, with the $ p_i $ and $ q $ being distinct primes. In this article, we present a congruence relation modulo powers of 2 between the 2-part of the class numbers of $ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-n}) $ and $ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p_1p_2 \cdots p_t}) $, under the assumption that $ n $ is a congruent number, using a modified Rédei matrix.
