Abstract (2. Language): 
Aim: It is aimed to evaluate the necessity of echocardiographic asssesment for the patients in whom the innocent heart murmurs are heard after the cardiovascular system examination. Material and Methods: The files of 466 patients, ages varied between 1 day and 17 years-old, who were per¬formed echocardiographic assessment and referred to our Pediatric Cardiology Outpatient Clinic because of innocent heart murmur due to physical examination, electrocardiography and telecar-diograpy between June 2007- December 2007 were evaluated respectively. Result: Patients who have innocent heart murmurs were not detected any important cardiac patology for hemodynam¬ic physiology. Also, when the innocent heart murmurs is evaluated according to types, it is deter¬minated that the most heart murmur is the innocent pulmoner murmur (47,4%). Results: In 69% of the patients who were performed ecocardiographic assesment, minor congenital heart anomalies were establised with any hemodynamic abnormalities and also 12% of them were given infective endocarditis preventive treatment. For this reason; it is determined to be suitable that echocardio-graphic assesment for the children who are reffered to our outpatient clinic because of heart mur¬mur in physical examination despite the result of innocent heart murmur.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Kardiyovasküler sistem muayenesi sonucu masum üfürüm ön tanısı konulan hastaların kesin tanısında ekokardiyografinin mutlaka gerekip gerekmediğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Haziran 2007 ile Aralık 2007 tarihleri arasında fakültemiz Çocuk Kardiyoloji Polikliniğine ilk kez başvuran ve yaşları 1 gün ile 17 yaş arasında değişen ve fizik muayene, elek¬trokardiyografi (EKG) ve telekardiyografi incelemeleri sonucunda masum üfürüm ön tanısı ile ekokardiyografik inceleme yapılan 466 hastanın dosyaları geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Bulgular: Masum üfürümlü hastaların hiçbirinde hemodinamik olarak önemli kardiyak patoloji tespit edilmedi. Ayrıca masum üfürümler tiplerine göre değerlendirildiğinde, masum pulmoner üfürümünün en yük¬sek oranda (%47.4) duyulduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç: Hastaların % 69'unda ekokardiyografik inceleme ile hemodinamik olarak anlamlı olmayan minör doğumsal kalp hastalıkları tespit edilmiş ve bunların %12'sinin infektif endokardit proflaksisi verilmesi gereken hastalıklar olduğu görülmüştür. Bu nedenle üfürüm duyularak polikliniğimize gönderilen hastalarda fizik muayene ile masum üfürüm düşünülse bile ekokardiyografik inceleme yapılmasının uygun olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
