OBJECTIVE: Pectus excavatum is the most prevalently encountered deformity of the thoracic wall. It can be accompanied by congenital anomalies.METHODS: The cardiac findings of 36 children who were diagnosed at the Thoracic surgery outpatient clinic of our university between 10 February 2021 and 1 October 2021 and 57 healthy children in a similar age group were analyzed.RESULTS: We determined that the pectus excavatum patients in our study had a higher risk of having mitral insufficiency, mitral valve prolapse, tricuspid valve prolapse, cardiac malposition, and congenital heart disease.CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the prevalence of cardiac pathologies was higher in pediatric pectus excavatum patients than in healthy children in the control group. Thus, we recommend clinicians to refer pediatric pectus excavatum patients to pediatric cardiology outpatient clinics for the early diagnosis of potential cardiac pathologies.
