In the study period after anassessment by a questionmaire , cardiac evaluation was needed in 405 9.3% childrenwho were invited to the pediatric cardiology unit. Among them, a total of 153 37.8% children were admitted for further evaluation, and 21 13.7% were diagnosed as havingundiagnosed congenital 12.4% or acquired 1.3% heart diseases. Five children withcongenital heart diseases were treated by surgical or invasive techniques, and penicillinprophylaxis was begun in two patients with rheumatic heart disease. The most frequentcongenital heart diseases were atrial septal defect and mitral valve prolapse among theadmitted children.Conclusions: Some children still reach school age with undiagnosed congenital oracquired heart diseases. All children should be examined carefully at the time ofschool registration in order to diagnose and treat congenital and acquired heart diseases in an effort to prevent the occurrence of undesirable events during sports orsocial activities
