ABSTRACT

Aim: In a busy pediatric cardiac outpatient and echocardiography unit, he identifies patterns of different types of heart disease in children reported daily.

Background: Congenital heart disease is a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to examine disease patterns in children referred from across the country to busy cardiac centers in Bangladesh. This is an observational study of his day in hospital. All patients underwent clinical examination and chest radiography. Electrocardiography was performed when indicated. The definitive diagnosis was made by echocardiography. All data were collected in the echocardiographic laboratory at the end of the day. While drafting this report, I noticed a certain pattern among the patients. On that day many patients came from different parts of the country and were representative of the population of the country, so the authors decided to publish this experience.

Methods: This was her one-day study of cases reported to a pediatric cardiac outpatient clinic in a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. This study included all patients with suspected or confirmed congenital heart disease.

Results: Of the 66 patients, 69.70% were male and 30.31% were female. 25 (41.66%) in the 1 month to 1 year age group, 21 (35%) in the 1 year and older age group, 13 (21.66%), and 7 (11.66) in the 5 and older age group. %) There has occurred) age group less than 1 month old. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was identified in 10 cases (15.16%), ventricular septal defect (VSD) in 9 cases (13.36%), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in 8 cases (12.13%)., one fallow was confirmed. Tetralogy was observed in 3.03 of his cases. Down syndrome was present in 2 cases (3.03%) and congenital rubella syndrome and Crouzon syndrome in 1 case (1.51%). The most common surgery was PDA device closure (7.57%), with VSD closure and PDA ligation being the most common surgical procedures. Most cases (43.93%) remained on observation, 9 (13.63%) recommended surgery, and 8 (12.13%) recommended catheterization. Eight patients (12.13%) were discharged from follow-up due to spontaneous resolution.

Conclusion: The disease patterns observed in his one-day survey in a busy outpatient clinic showed patterns like those seen in other long-term studies. Most patients remained under observation because spontaneous healing could be achieved after observation in some cases.
