RUBENS-FIGUEROA, Jesús De et al. Frequency of 4,544 children with congenital and acquired heart disease. Echocardiographic study. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2021, vol.91, n.4, pp.407-414.  Epub 06-Dez-2021. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.20000166.

Objective:

To aim the incidence of congenital and acquired heart disease in our institution.

Material and methods:

A retrospective, transverse, descriptive and comparative study was conducted, from August 2001 to July 2011, in which we evaluated echocardiograms of patients between the ages of newborn to 18 years of age. They were grouped by heart disease. In the last statistical analysis, we obtained the frequency of occurrence and the proportional value of each cardiopathy.

Results:

In the last 10 years, we founded 4,544 patients with heart disease. The 14 most common cardiopathies represented 89% of the statistic. The congenital heart disease most frequent was persistent ductus arteriosus with 896 patients (19%), and the acquired heart disease most frequent was myocarditis with 116 patients (2.5%). The tetralogy of Fallot was most frequent congenital heart disease with cyanosis.

Conclusions:

The frequencies of congenital and acquired heart disease are different in difference geographic and ethnics areas.
