Two dimensional echocardiography as an evidence for clinically significant murmur

Background: Heart murmurs are extra and abnormal sounds made by turbulent flow of blood through heart. The most common cardiac abnormality found on auscultation is murmur. Edler regarded as father echocardiography. This based reflection sound waves heart structures similar to the radio detection ranging (RADAR) navigation (SONAR).Methods: Our study was done in PICU Kempegowda Institute Medical Sciences hospital, Bangalore. Duration 6 years that from January 2015 2020. During this period total 2304 pediatric cases with various diseases were admitted. Of these 150 (6.5%) children having clinically significant All who fulfilled inclusion criteria subjected 2d echo GE VIVID portable 2 dimensional colour Doppler echocardiography trans-thoracically.Results: 96 (64%) had echo. 37 (38.5%) have organic disease 59 (61.5%) functional disease. 10 (27%) pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), 8 (21%) atrial septal defect, 7 (18%) perforated foramen ovale (PFO), (5%) mitral valve prolapse, ventricular defect (VSD), 1(2%) tetralogy fallot (TOF), 1 (2%) aneurysm, pericardial effusion.Conclusions: There 64% chances detecting a disease, if 2D Hence vital investigation evaluating murmurs.
