Objective: We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the clinical, demographic, clinical and echocardiographic findings of children diagnosed with chest deformity in pediatric cardiology clinic.
 Material Method: This study enrolled under age 18 years who were referred our unit, over a period six (January 2017-December 2022).
 Results: The mean patients was 9.9 ± 5.2 years, median 11 (0-18...

Introduction: Infective endocarditis is a rare, fatal ,with high morbidity in children, Since infective endocarditis in children was not assessed in our conditions so our study was attempted.   Material and Methods: This cross-sectional  study  include 19 patients less than 18 years old  with endocarditis   were hospitalized in the Department of Pediatric Cardiology( University of Mashhad...

the most frequent congenital heart defects in the neonatal period are ventricular septal defects. ventricular septal aneurysms can rarely develop from an interventricular septal (ivs) defect in adults. we describe a 47-year-old man with an aneurysm in the ivs growing towards the right ventricle, which was confirmed by cardiac computed tomographic angiography and was missed by echocardiography.

J /1ost frequently, congenital mitral insufficiency is associated with other congenital heart defects, mainly of the endocardial cushion defect type. Clinical cases of isolated mitral insufficiency, although unusual,12 are being described with increasing frequency, and their clinical and pathologic features are being well documented.: Surgical correction of these uncommon types of isolated mitr...

Samples of myocardial tissue were obtained during cardiac surgery from children operated for different types of normoxemic and hypoxemic congenital heart diseases. The phospholipid composition was analyzed by thin layer chromatography. The concentration of total phospholipids (PL), phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was found lower in atrial tissue of both normoxemic and hypo...

ease (RHD). Certain forms of congenital heart disease such as tetralogy of Fallot, small ventricular septal defect, and aortic stenosis are at particular risk for BE. Following BE, patients with ventricular septal defect and tetralogy of Fallot have less morbidity and higher survival rates than children with aortic outflow lesions. Over the entire time period, alpha Streptococcus is the most co...

Background: Down syndrome is the most common congenital chromosomal anomaly and occurs in about 1-10:1.000 live births globally. Various reports stated an increasing survival rate because of advanced medical surgical care. The highest mortality children takes place first three years life with its comorbidities being heart disease gastrointestinal defect. Low birth weight was also more compared ...

one of the complications of twinning of mono chorionic mono amniotic gestations is conjointed twins. structural congenital malformations occur in 5 % to 7 % of twin gestations versus only 3 % of singleton births. most defects occurring in only one of the twin fetuses. occasional anomalies such as omphalocele sincenomalia heart defect one reported in both concordance. the structural defect commo...
