Öğe Prevalence and Pattern of Cardiovascular Symptoms and Diseases in Pediatric Patients: Insights from a Single-Center Observational Study with a Focus on Age and Gender(Selçuk Üniversitesi, 2024 Şubat) Polat, Fuat; Kaya, ZeynettinABSTRACT Background/Aims: This single-center, cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and patterns of cardiovascular symptoms and findings among pediatric patients aged 1-18 years, focusing on age and gender as potential influencing factors. Methods: Pediatric patients aged 1-18 years with cardiovascular symptoms grouped as murmur, dyspnea, chest pain, palpitation, syncope and cyanosis were examined, categorized by age (1-6, 7-12, 13-18) and gender (male and female) using electronic medical records, undergoing comprehensive clinical assessments including examinations, ECGs, and echocardiograms. Statistical analyses unveiled prevalence trends. Results: 720 patients were included in the study and 53.9% of them were female. The prevalence of symptoms and diseases varied by age. Chest pain was more common in 13-18 group; cardiac murmurs linked to congenital defects were more common in 1-6 group; valve and pericardial/ myocardial diseases were more common in the 7-12 age group. Gender had no significant effect on disease patterns. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the importance of age-appropriate management and personalized management in cardiovascular diseases. Gender did not have a significant role in terms of cardiovascular diseases.
