Introduction: Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), a cardiac pathology commonly seen in preterm infants, has negative effects on mortality and morbidity. Persistent patency of PDA is positively correlated with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), prolonged respiratory support, pulmonary hemorrhage, broncopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), intraventricular hemorrhage, renal failure, neurodevelopmental impairment (cerebral palsy), retinopathy of prematurity and death. The standard treatment regimen is to close symptomatic PDA and cyclooxygenase inhibitors such as indomethacin, ibuprofen are the first choises. Our aim in this study is to report PDA rate, treatment and complications in premature infants.Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively enrolled 103 infants born < 33 gestational weeks, without any major congenital anomaly or congenital heart defects between January 2010-November 2011. Echocardiograms was performed in the first week. PDA related pulmonary hemorrhage, NEC, BPD, ROP and death were demonstrated.Results: Among of 103 infants, 45 were male and 58 were female. Seventy infants were born with cesarian section and 33 were born with normal labor. The mean gestational week was 29.7 +/- 2.2, the mean gestational week of infants with PDA was 28.8 +/- 2.3. The mean birth weight of infants was 1323 +/- 375 grams. The mean Apgar score was 7.25 +/- 1.83, the scores of infants with patent ductus arteriosus were significantly low (6.7 +/- 1.9). Echocardiography was performed on the mean of 4.8 +/- 4.4 days, PDA was determined in 48 of 103 infants (% 46). The mean of birth weight of infants with persistant PDA was 1162 +/- 351 grams, it was 1465 +/- 340 g in the closed group. The rate of pulmonary hemorrhage, NEC, BPD, ROP and death was significantly higher in infants with PDA compared with infants having ductal closure (p<0.05).Conclusion: The early closure of PDA in very low birth weight infants will reduce both mortality and early or late morbidities.
A rare and fatal cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Danon disease
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2023-01-05) Türkmen, Hasan; TÜRKMEN, HASAN; Uysal, Fahrettin; UYSAL, FAHRETTİN; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7707-2174
Danon disease is a rare and fatal disease caused by a mutation in the lysosome-associated membrane protein 2 gene. Impaired intracellular autophagy causes lysosomal vacuoles to accumulate mainly in myocardial and skeletal muscle cells, leading to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and varying degrees of intellectual disability. Two distinct childhood presentations of Danon disease are described in this report.

Introduction: Costello syndrome is probably an autosomal dominant inherited disorder that is characterized by postnatal growth retardation, developmental delay, coarse facies, loose skin, nonprogressive cardiomyopathy and friendly behavior. The aim of this study was to evaluate a variety of clinical findings and cardiac involvement of six patients diagnosed as Costello syndrome.Materials and Methods: Six cases that had a typical features of Costello syndrome admitted to pediatric cardiology department due to cardiac murmur between 2002-2013 years were evaluated. Their complaints, clinical findings, treatments and clinical courses were examined.Results: Three of the patients were male and the mean age of patients was 34 +/- 12 months (7 months to 11 years). All of the cases had coarse faces, deep palmar and plantar creases, hypertelorism, epicanthal folds, depressed nasal bridges and cardiac murmur at auscultation. Congenital heart disease was found in all patients. Five patients had pulmonary stenosis and balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty was performed in 3 of these patients. Atrial septal defect was detected in 3 patients and 1 of the patient had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Mental retardation was found in 2 patients.Conclusions: Costello syndrome must be keep in mind in all patients with psychomotor retardation, coarse faces, sparse hairs, deep palmar and plantar creases, phenotypical features resembling a storage disease especially in association with pulmonary stenosis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Introduction: To evaluate babies diagnosed as congenital heart disease in terms of frequency, risk factors and prognosis and to determine the issues to be covered to reduce the mortality in these patients in the scope of the literature.Materials and Methods: Ninety-nine patients diagnosed as congenital heart disease were enrolled among 1.175 patients who were admitted to neonatal intensive care unit in Uludag University Hospital between January 2008 and January 2013.Results: Fifty-four patients (54.5%) of 99 cases included in the study were male and 45 (45.5%) cases were female. Of cases, 82.9% were term and mean birth weight was 3.142 +/- 592 gr. Most common diagnosis was transposition of great arteries seen in 14 cases (14.1%), followed by complete atrioventricular septal defect and aortic hypoplasia, 11 cases for each. Mortality rate was 35.3% (35 of 99 patients) and mean time of death was 22 days. Antenatal diagnosis rate was 55.6% (55 of 99 patients).Conclusions: It appears to be two major issues to address in order to reduce the mortality in congenital heart defects. Firstly, rate of proper follow-up in pregnancies and prenatal diagnosis must be increased. Secondly, these patients must be operated in the exact appropriate time by exclusive congenital heart surgeons, and subsequently managed by experienced post-operative care staff. Therefore, establishment of regional cardiac surgery/intensive care units and referral of all congenital heart defects to these centers would be ideal. In order to reduce the mortality and morbidity of congenital heart defects, these issues must be covered by the Ministry of Health and necessary initiatives must be established as urgently as possible.

INTRODUCTION: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly that can be cured with surgical treatment. It accounts for 0.25 to 0.5% of all congenital heart diseases. ALCAPA is generally asymptomatic in the neonatal period. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and mitral valve insufficiency (MVI) are detected in patients with symptoms of heart failure. ALCAPA, which is a rare cause of DCM, early surgical treatment provides quite good prognosis in the first year of life. However, mortality is high in patients who do not receive surgical treatment.MATERIALS and METHODS: Six patients diagnosed with DCM at our clinic between January, 2005 and December, 2017 and detected with ALCAPA syndrome in their etiological assessment we re-evaluated retrospectivelyRESULTS: Of the 6 patients, 5 were female and 1 was male. The average age of diagnosis was 4,75 months. All patients had the signs and symptoms of heart failure at admission. All cases had the signs of ischemia in the chest leads, D1 and aVL in the electrocardiograms (ECGs). In allcases, echocardiography (ECHO) showed mitral insufficiency and the dilation of the left ventricle and the mean ejection fraction was 29,3% (18-39%), and the mean shortening fraction was 12,6% (8-19%) in the ECHOs. Diagnostic catheter angiography was performed for all patients and the diagnosis of ALCAPA was confirmed. All patients under went correction surgery with there implantation method. Four of the patients completely recovered after surgery. One patient died 5 days after the surgery. One patient is being followed up with medical treatment since there was no improvement in her cardiac functions after surgery.CONCLUSIONS: The ALCAPA syndrome should definitely be considered in the etiology of cases diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and it should be kept in mind that ALCAPA is completely treatable disease with early diagnosis and treatment.

Our aim was to investigate effects of chronic hypoxia on endocrine function in pediatric patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). Thirty patients with cyanotic CHD (16 boys, 14 girls), and 35 control subjects (22 boys, 13 girls) were enrolled. Age means of patients and controls were 4.37 +/- 4.51 and 4.28 +/- 4.96 years, respectively. Standard deviation scores (SDS) of height and weight were significantly lower among patients compared to controls. Mean fasting glucose levels were 75 +/- 15 mg/dL and 83 +/- 12 mg/dL among patients and controls, respectively (p=0.033). Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) 1 and its SDS were significantly lower among patients (p=0.010). There was no significant difference in ACTH and cortisol levels between groups. ACTH levels were very low in six patients. Oxygen saturation level was positively correlated with ACTH (p=0.041, r=0.439) and negatively correlated with HOMA-IR (p=0.046, r=-0.420) and insulin (p=0.017, r=-0.494). There was no difference in insulin resistance between groups. Chronic hypoxia has negative impact on growth by reducing IGF-1 along with the nutritional deficiency in children with cyanotic CHD. ACTH-adrenal axis is also affected. While cyanotic CHD has decreased serum glucose level, it had no effect on insulin level and insulin resistance. Negative correlations between oxygen saturation, and HOMA-IR, fasting insulin levels, have suggested that these patients should be monitorized for insulin resistance.

(Bmj Publishing Group, 2019-08-01) Gönen, Korcan Aysun; Canıtez, Yakup; CANITEZ, YAKUP; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Yazıcı, Zeynep; YAZICI, ZEYNEP; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7707-2174; AAH-1789-2021
Horseshoe lung is a rare congenital anomaly and mostly accompanied by scimitar syndrome. Most aspects of this complex anomaly can be demonstrated via multidetector CT (MDCT). We present two baby girls who had horseshoe lung associated with right lung hypoplasia and scimitar vein. The chest roentgenograms showed displacement of the heart and mediastinum to the right with smaller right lung. Echocardiography revealed dextroposition, secundum atrial septal defect and bilateral slight peripheral pulmonary stenosis in the first case and dextroposition, severe pulmonary hypertension, secundum atrial septal defect and tricuspid regurgitation in the other one. On thoracic MDCT, the right lung and pulmonary artery were hypoplastic with cardiomediastinal shift to the right. There was an abnormal right pulmonary vein draining into the inferior vena cava on the lower zone of the right lung (scimitar vein). The posterobasal portions of the both lungs were fused through a midline isthmus behind the heart.

Purpose: Sudden death in epileptic patients may due to epilepsia or drug induced arrhythmia. The aim of this study is to identify changes of QT dispersion, as a predictive marker for arrhythmias, in children treated with antiepileptic drugs.Material and Methods: Ninety children treated with antiepileptic drugs and 30 healthy children as controls were involved in the study. Standard 12-lead surface electrocardiograms (ECG) of the study groups were evaluated before antiepileptic drug therapy and after 3 months. ECG of the control group was also reviewed at the beginning of the study and after 3 months. QT, JT and RR intervals were measured in both groups. The corrected QT (QTc) and JT (JTc) intervals were determined and QTc and JTc dispersions were measured.Results: QTc and JTc dispersion were found to be 85.8+/-16.5 ms and 79.8+/-15.6 ms respectively in patients group before the therapy and 43.3+/-8.2 ms and 40.8+/-5.6 ms in control group at the beginning (p<0.05). Even QTc dispersion were found to be significantly decreased after 3 months of therapy (80.5+/-12.9 ms), it was still significantly higher than the QTc dispersion in control group after 3 months.Conclusion: Determination of QTcd and JTcd values may be useful to predict the risk of sudden death in epileptic patients.
Role of cineangiography and renal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of urinary tract abnormalities associated with congenital heart disease
(Aves, 2009-12-01) Semizel, Evren; Yazıcı, Zeynep; YAZICI, ZEYNEP; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Çil, Ergün; ÇİL, ERGÜN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Radyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7707-2174; 0000-0003-3516-0082; AAI-2303-2021; AAH-3865-2021; AAG-8558-2021; AAG-9324-2021
Purpose: The incidence of urinary tract anomalies (UTA) associated with congenital heart disease (CHD) is high. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of cineurography and renal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of UTA associated CHD.Patients and Method: Cineurography of the 148 patients who underwent angiography, between January 2005 and July 2005, due to CHD were evaluated. Renal ultrasonographies were also performed to these patients. Intravenous pyelography was performed to the patients who were diagnosed as UTA by renal ultrasonography and/or cineurography.Results: Urinary tract anomalies were found in 23 of 148 patients by cineurography and in 22 of 148 patients by renal ultrasonography. Thirteen patients were diagnosed as UTA by both modalities. IVP was performed to 32 patients and UTA were detected in 24 of these 32 patients. 8 cincurograms yielded false-positive and 9 cincurograms yielded false-negative results. Ultrasonography produced 2 false negative results. Cineurography was able to show 62% of UTA accurately.Conclusion: Both cineurography and renal ultrasonography can be used to image the UTA associated CHD. The postangiocardiographic cineurogram appears to be a cost-effective, easy 188 and useful method of screening for silent UTA in children with CHD.
Syncope in children: Is rhythm holter monitoring necessary?
(Galenos Yayincilik, 2016-12-01) UYSAL, FAHRETTİN; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; Çetinkaya, Fatma; Çil, Ergün; ÇİL, ERGÜN; Deniz, Tuba; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-7707-2174; 0000-0003-3516-0082; AAG-8558-2021; AAG-9324-2021; AAH-3865-2021; AAH-4421-2021
Introduction: Holter monitoring (HM) is usually used in patients with syncope when etiology cannot be explained with history, physical examination and electrocardiography (ECG). In this study the objective was to evaluate the diagnostic value of HM in children with syncope.Materials and Methods: Databases were collected retrospectively by analyzing the HM results of 3.122 pediatric patients between 2010-2014. Gender, age at diagnosis, detailed clinical history, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiographic and echocardiographic results were noted using standardized form.Results: The study included 323 patients with syncope with a mean age of 13.21+/-3.67. There were 199 female and 124 male patients in this study. Among all patients 284 (87.9%) had normal HM results, while 11 (3.4%) patients had abnormal Holter studies that consider to explain as syncope. Three of 11 patients with abnormal Holter results diagnosed through ECG before HM, hence, the diagnostic value of HM was calculated as 2.4%. In contrast, diagnostic value of HM in patients with positive family history was found to be 16.6%. In this study, 7 patients were considered to have long QT syndrome according to their HM findings.Conclusions: Detailed clinical history has a great value in children with syncope. As a result, HM has low diagnostic value if the patients are not in high risk group. However, HM was considered to be important because of concealed long QT syndrome especially if the patient had positive family history and exercise related syncope.

(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019-02-01) Oral, Orçun; Toprak, Muhammet Hamza Hata; Uysal, Fahrettin; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; Çil, Ergün; Toprak, Muhammet Hamza Hata; UYSAL, FAHRETTİN; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; ÇİL, ERGÜN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi; 0000-0001-7707-2174; 0000-0003-3516-0082; AAG-9324-2021; AAH-4421-2021; AAG-8558-2021; AAH-3865-2021; ECM-4447-2022
Introduction: Diagnostic and interventional catheter angiography of the heart is frequently used in paediatric cardiology. It is also possible to detect urinary system anomalies with cineurography images that may be obtained during angiocardiography. In this study, the aim was to determine the frequency, distribution, and properties of urinary system anomalies accompanying heart diseases, and to find out the effectiveness of cineurographic images in detecting the urinary system anomalies. Methods: The cineurographic images of 2022 children who had undergone angiocardiography between 1995 and 2015 were retrospectively examined. Results: Urinary system anomalies were detected in 261 of the 2022 cases (12.9%). Of these 261 cases, 148 were males (56.7%), whereas 113 were females (43.3%). Among the heart diseases, the group most accompanied by urinary system anomalies was the non-cyanotic left-to-right shunted heart diseases, which was detected in 120 (39.1%) patients. Pelvicalyceal ectasia was the most common urinary system anomaly encountered and was detected in 89 patients (34.1%). Of the urinary system anomalies cases, 94 detected by cineurography were determined to be clinically severe. When the effectiveness of the cineurography was evaluated using the ultrasonography records of the patients, it was found to have 63.8% accuracy. Conclusion: Many of the patients with CHDs concomitantly have urinary system anomalies. It is possible to determine asymptomatic urinary system anomalies using cineurographic imaging during angiocardiography. This may lead to earlier treatments and improved prognosis for the patients, thus making it possible to prevent potential future problems.

(Galenos Yayincilik, 2007-12-01) Kimya, Yalçın; Bostan, Özlem Mehtap; BOSTAN, ÖZLEM MEHTAP; Alyamaç, Funda Akpınar; Özdil, Murat; Bayram, Feyza; Çelik, Nurhan; Cengiz, Candan; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Pediatri Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-1735-6997
Objective: In this study indications, findings and results of fetal echocardiography performed in our department were evaluated.Materials and Methods: The records of fetal echocardiography findings, pregnancy and postpartum period were retrospectively evaluated in 208 patients and had fetal echocardiography who were in high risk for congenital heart diseases, in our department between May 2003-January 2007.Results: The mean age of 208 patients was 21,8 and mean gestational age 25 weeks and 3 days. The two most common indications for fetal echocardiography were congenital heart: disease in the family and suspicion of cardiac anomaly during routine ultrasonogrraphy; 88/208 (42.3%) and 43/208 (20.7%); respectively. Incidence of abnormal findings in fetal echocardiographic examination was 26.9% (56/208). While congenital heart disease ratio in patients with family history of congenital heart disease was 4.6% (4/88), it was 74.4% (32/43) in patients with suspicion of cardiac. anomaly during routine ultrasonography.Discussion: The most common request for fetal echocardiography was presence of congenital heart disease in the family. Routine prenatal ultrasonography has the most important role in detection of cardiac anomalies.
The role of external loop recorders in arrhythmia-related symptoms in children: A single center experience

In this study, we report our experience with the use of external loop recorders (ELRs), in terms of diagnostic efficiency according to symptoms and symptom-rhythm correlation in pediatric patients. We evaluated ELRs applied to 178 patients between April 2017 and November 2020 at our center. The mean age of 172 patients included in the study was 13.6 +/- 3.8 years, and 69.8% were female. ELR indications were palpitations in 98 (56.9%) cases, chest pain and palpitations in 43 (25%) cases, presyncope/syncope in 28 (16.2%) cases, and pacemaker/ implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) problems in 3 (0.2%) cases. ELR recording times were 14.2 +/- 9.7 days on average, ranging from 2 to 67 days. While the symptom-rhythm correlation was 29.1% in total, when the indications were evaluated one by one, this correlation was found to be 30.2% in palpitations, 34.7% in chest pain and palpitations, and 10.7% in presyncope/syncope. The total diagnostic efficiency was 68.1%. In the follow-up of ELR cases, a total of 139 (80.8%) patients received clinical follow-up without medication, 15 (8.8%) patients received medical treatment, and 18 (10.4%) patients underwent EPS. The cardiac ELR system is useful in detecting underlying arrhythmias. Demonstrating sinus tachycardia at the time of the symptom may be seen as negative finding, but while experiencing symptoms, it is diagnostically valuable and may help avoid further investigation with costly and invasive diagnostic procedures. For diagnostic efficiency and cost effectiveness, the optimal recording time is 2 weeks, but it should be extended to 4 weeks in cases such as of presyncope/syncope that cannot be explained with a 2-week ELR use.

Infective endocarditis (IE) caused by microbial infection is virtually always fatal if untreated. High-dose and long-term antibiotic treatment is required to eradicate microorganisms. If increased risk of embolic events, persistent infection, and progressive cardiac failure are present, surgery is indicated. However, surgery can carry an increased risk of mortality and morbidity in critically ill children of whom other treatment options Such as administering, a thromholytic agent; recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) could be an alternative choice. Here, we report a 14-year-old male with Down syndrome and acute myeloblastic leukemia, diagnosed with IE characterized by two large vegetations on aortic and mitral valves, who was successfully treated with r-tPA.

Congenital heart tumors are very rare and the most common type is the rhabdomyoma. Frequency during autopsy is between 0.027-0.08%. Moreover 51-86% of these tumors are associated with tuberosclerosis. Also hamartomas might accompany, particularly on the central nervous system and skin, kidney, liver, lung and heart. In this paper, two cases diagnosed with tuberculosis who showed rhabdomyomas in fetal echocardiography in the antenatal period and were seen to have tubers in cranial magnetic resonance (MR) postnatally, are presented.

Objective: Ventricular extrasystole is one of the most common rhythm disorders in children, and almost all of them are characterized by normal cardiac functions without structural cardiac abnormalities. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical course of ventricular extrasystole in children who did not have cardiac structural abnormalities.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 24-hour rhythm Holter recordings performed in our clinic in children. Patients diagnosed with isolated ventricular extrasystole in Holter records and without structural heart disease on echocardiography were included in the evaluation.Results: A total of 20 160 Holter results were evaluated in the study, and 226 patients (male; 66%) met the criteria. The mean follow-up time was 8.7 & PLUSMN; 3.2 years. While 81.8% of the patients were asymptomatic, the most common symptom was palpitation and 5 patients had syncope. Of the patients, 72 (31.8%) received medical therapy. Beta-blockers were the most often prescribed medication. Cardiomyopathy did not develop in any of the patients during the followup period. A partial reduction in the frequency of ventricular extrasystole was observed in 42% of the patients, while complete recovery was observed in 22%.Conclusion: Ventricular extrasystole in children generally has a good prognosis; most of them are asymptomatic, and the rates of spontaneous regression over time are quite high, regardless of the origin.
