INTRODUCTION: We aimed to evaluate the echocardiographic findings with complaints of patients admitted to our department.
METHODS: A total of 2522 patients admitted to pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic between 2013-2015 were evaluated retrospectively.
RESULTS: In all age groups it was revealed that normal echocardiogram was most common. The pathological findings in echocardiography were; patent foramen ovale (PFO) was the most common in newborns; atrial septal defect (ASD) in infants; ASD in 2-6 years and 6-12 years age group; and the mitral valve prolapse (MVP) in the 12-18 age group. While the murmur was the most frequent complaint of newborns, infants, 2-6 years and 6-12 years age group, chest pain was the most common for ages between 12-18 years. Normal echocardiography were determined in 72.1% of patients who admitted with a murmur, 77% of patients with chest pain; 65% of the patients with cyanosis; 40.5% of with palpitations and 71.9% with syncope.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The majority of patient, admitted to the pediatric cardiology clinic, determined as normal echocardiography. The most common anomaly was ASD. The most common complaint was heart murmur and majority of patients presenting with murmurs were in normal limits.
