Abstract

Introduction: Chest pain is a common complaint in children. However, cardiac chest pain is rarely seen. The aim of our study was to determine the diagnostic reasons in children who applied to the pediatric cardiology clinic for chest pain. Materials and Methods: 210 cases were enrolled in the pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic between March 2017 and October 2017 with a chest pain complaint. The patients were aged between 3-18 and 111 of them were female and 99 of them were male. Family history, pathologic findings in the examinations, drug use history, electrocardiography and echocardiography results were recorded from the patients' files. The data is evaluated statistically, the etiologic causes and the frequency of the diagnoses and the distributions according to sex and age were examined from the files of the patients. SPSS 22.0 program was used in the analysis. Results: It was found that chest pain occurred most frequently at rest (66.1%) and at the left side sternum (70.7%). Musculoskeletal (43.8%), idiopathic (28.1%) and psychogenic (14.7%) causes were the most common reasons of chest pain. In one patient cardiac (0.5%) chest pain was detected. Psychogenic chest pain was seen more frequently in girls (54.8%). It is found that most frequent psychogenic causes were depression (68%), anxiety disorder (25.6%) and panic attack. Conclusion: Only a small proportion of childhood chest pain is cardiac-dependent. Idiopathic, musculoskeletal and psychogenic causes should be kept in mind as the cause of chest pain. The finalization of the diagnosis is crucial to relieve the anxiety of the patient and his family and to give correct treatment. Referral to the cardiology unit may not always be an appropriate option as it increases the concerns of the family and may result in expensive long-term evaluations.

Özet

Amaç: Göğüs ağrısı çocuklarda sık görülen bir yakınmadır. Fakat kardiyak kökenli göğüs ağrısı çok az görülmektedir. C alıs mamızın amacı, c ocuk kardiyoloji poliklinig ine go g u s ag rısı nedeniyle bas vuran c ocuklarda tanısal nedenlerin belirlenmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya C ocuk Kardiyoloji poliklinig ine Mart 2017-Ekim 2017 tarihleri arasında go g u s ag rısı yakınmasıyla bas vuran yas ları 3-18 arasında değişen 111’i kız, 99’u erkek olmak üzere 210 vaka alındı. Hastaların dosyalarından öz-soygeçmiş özellikleri, muayenelerindeki patolojik bulguları, ilaç kullanım öyküleri, elektrokardiyografi ve ekokardiyografi sonuçları kaydedildi. Bu veriler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi, hastaların dosyalarından etiyolojik nedenler ve tanıların sıklıkları ile cinsiyete ve yaşa göre dağılımları incelendi. Analizlerde SPSS 22.0 programı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Vakalarda göğüs ağrısı en sık istirahat halinde iken (%66.1) ve sternum solunda (%70.7) ortaya çıktığı saptandı. Göğüs ağrısı nedenleri ise en sık sırasıyla kasiskelet sistemi (%43.8), idiyopatik (%28.1) ve psikojenik (%14.7) nedenlere bağlı olduğu görüldü. Bir hastada ise kardiyak nedenli (%0.5) göğüs ağrısı saptandı. Psikojenik nedenli göğüs ağrıları kızlarda daha sık (%54.8) olarak görüldü. Psikojenik nedenlerden depresyon (%68), anksiyete bozukluğu (%25.6) ve panik atak (%6.4) saptandı. Sonuç: Çocukluk c ag ı go g u s ag rılarının c ok az bir kısmı kardiyak nedenlidir. İdiyopatik nedenler, kas-iskelet sistemi kaynaklı nedenlerin yanı sıra psikojenik nedenler de göğüs ağrısı nedeni olarak akılda tutulmalıdır. Tanının kesinleştirilmesi hasta ve ailesinin endişesini gidermek ve doğru tedaviyi uygulamak için çok önemlidir. Ayrıca bu çocukların kardiyolojiye rutin sevkleri ailenin kaygılarını daha çok arttırabileceğinden ve uzun süren pahalı değerlendirmelere neden olacağından her zaman iyi sonuç vermeyebilir.
