CathEcho version 2.5 (CathEcho 2.0) was developed as database system of clinical data for pediatric cardiology patients including X-ray and echocardiogram picture for a scientific purpose. We classified congenital heart defects and combined these data to meet any diagnosis or syndrome and any diagnostic coding system. Anatomical data was saved systematically along the anatomical hierarchy of heart. Laboratory data were calculated automatically after the validation. All congenital defects were revised and diagnosis was made automatically. In this system the determination of operation can be suggested according to the cardiac indexes and data can be reported as clinical charts. We can monitor the statistics of patient data and obtain information about patient clinical data easily even at emergency state. This system can make physician to have complete examination about congenital heart disease as well as other heart state. The followings are the main constitutions of the CathEcho version 2.5. BASIC INFORMATION RECORDS. In this part, the unique number is given to any patient. The basic patient informations are checked and stored as clinical data for the management of patients and for the research purposes. CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION RECORDS. Cardiac catheterization data are recorded in this part. The cardiac anatomical data are recorded in according to the segmental steps and the anatomical relationships. Laboratory data are recorded and the cardiac indexes are calculated automatically. This system can recommend the therapeutic plans on operation. Final diagnosis can be automatically arranged by a complete revision of anatomical and laboratory data. CARDIAC ECHOCARDIOGRAM RECORDS. Echocardiogram data are recorded systematically and the cardiac indexes can be calculated automatically. This system also can recommend the necessity of the operation. Full anatomical and laboratory data are completely revised and diagnosis can be made automatically. ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY (EKG) RECORDS. EKG data are stored systematically and reported with catheterization data, echo data and X-ray data. X-RAY RECORDS. X-ray data of patients also are stored for the complete clinical data. With CathEcho 2.5 we are now storing the formatted clinical data for the expert systems which are now being developed to assist the therapeutic planning and updated to link to cardiac electrophysiology.
