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.
