Data was collected for a period of 10 years retrospectively and prospectively from 1st December 2005 to 31st January 2012, excluding paediatric patients and patients undergoing repeat procedure. Results: In our study total of 11000 patients were included with mean age of all subjects was 50.6 ± 19.6 years. Of all the subjects 6664 (56%) were males with mean age of 51.9 ± 19.2 years . Hypertensive heart disease, valvular heart disease and cardiomyopathies accounted for 78% of heart diseases. Common indications for echocardiography in the subjects studied were hypertension (49.12%), valvular heart diseases [1715 (14.75%) ], cardiomyopathies (8.67%) and ischemic heart disease (8.19%). Conclusion: The results of present study revealed that hypertensive heart disease was the most common echocardiographic finding especially in males while valvular heart diseases and cardiomyopathies were seen more in females. So echocardiography can be considered as good diagnostic tool for gender and age realted cardiac diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
