INTRODUCTION: There is a dearth of literature on @entity215 ( @entity215 ) in @entity1 in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study up aims to describe the prevalence, clinical profile and associated @entity299 of @entity1 diagnosed with @entity215 documented over an eight year period in a tertiary hospital in South Western Nigeria. METHODS: A prospective review of all consecutive cases of @entity215 diagnosed with echocardiography at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) between January 2007 and December 2014. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20. Tables and charts were used to depict those variables. Descriptive statistic are presented as percentages or means and standard deviation. Means of normally distributed variables were compared using the student t test and proportions using chi-square test. Skewed distribution were analyzed using appropriate non-parametric tests. Level of significance set at P < 0.05. RESULT: The prevalence of @entity215 among @entity1 presenting at LASUTH at the study period was 4.9 per 10 000 while its prevalence among those with @entity299 was 16.9%. There was a male predominance and most @entity1 presented within 1-5 years of age. @entity2008 such as @entity1467 , @entity2689 and @entity37411 were documented in some subjects. Some of the subjects had atypical presentation. CONCLUSION: @entity215 is as common in Nigeria as other parts of the world, there is a need to established cardiac centers to salvage these @entity1 . Collaboration from developed countries will be helpful in this resource limited region.
