Introduction: Cardiac catheterization is a procedure to examine how well your heart is working. A thin, hollow tube called a catheter is inserted into a large blood vessel that leads to your heart. Now cardiac catheterization is being used widely. But there are very few studies are found on clinical findings of male & female patients with congenital cyanotic heart diseases using cardiac catheterization in Bangladesh. Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess clinical findings of male & female patients with congenital cyanotic heart diseases using cardiac catheterization. Method: This was a prospective experimental study was distributed in the Department of Cardiology, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi Bangladesh during the period from January 2018 to December 2019. A total of 50 patients were screened with congenital cyanotic heart diseases. The data of male and female participants were displayed separately in the tables for better analysis. Result: The highest portion patient with congenital cyanotic heart diseases was found from 51-60 years’ age group and that was 17 (34%). This rate was followed by 16 (32%) from 41-50 years’ age group, 11 (22%) from 31-40 years’ age group, 4 (8%) from 60+ years’ age group and 2 (4%) from 18-30 years’ age group. So it can be claimed that the chance of congenital cyanotic heart diseases increases with the age of people. Conclusion: In our study we found the chance of congenital cyanotic heart diseases increases with the age of people. Besides this, all the findings of this study may be helpful for further studies considering all the limitations of this study as it was a single centered study with a small sized sample.
