Background: The heart with its intrinsic and indispensable function is a vital organ in the human body. Surgical management of diseases affecting it was initially thought to be incompatible with life. Surgeons who desired the respect of their colleagues were barred from operating on the heart, on the ground that human knowledge is very limited in that area. This notion was however changed in 1893 when laceration in the left ventricle was successfully repaired at Chicago Provident Hospital in USA. Three years later, the same feat was successfully reproduced several times in Frankfurt Germany. Also by 1938 in Boston Children Hospital, Massachusetts, USA, Robert Gross successfully interrupted a PDA in a 7-yearold child. This was followed by successful repair of coarctation of the aorta and the famous blue baby operation, all in 1944, thus unequivocally, proving that successful operation on the heart was tenable in the western world. On the contrary, in the early 1940s and 1950s, cardiac diseases requiring surgery for whole or part of their management were thought to be rare in Nigeria in particular and Africa in general. The establishment of cardiac registry at UCH, Ibadan in western Nigeria, in 1964 revealed all types of cardiac diseases including those requiring surgical intervention. Today, many cardiac diseases are treated by surgery in NCTCE, UNTH, Enugu and other centers in Nigeria. The western world is abandoning the perfected conventional open access cardiac surgery for minimal invasive cardiac surgery with comparable results vis-à-vis efficacy.

“…It has increased steadily since 1930. The birth prevalence since 1995 ranges between 1.9 and 9.3/1000 births [4], [5], [8]. The current lower prevalence in Africa is similar to that in the West in the early 1930s (0.6/1000 births) and is probably related to an under diagnosis.…”

“…Congenital heart disease (CHD) and early acquired heart disease (EAHD) are of special importance in adolescents as they may impact their subsequent health as they age [2], [3]. Many studies which investigated the prevalence of CHD in fetal and newborn populations found fewer subjects than in population studies of older children and adolescents [4], [5]. Echocardiographic screening revealed a prevalence rate of approximately 3.5% for cardiac lesion in older children [6], [7].…”

“…One may expect a change in the prevalence of heart disease between newborn screening and older children and adolescent screening as those with more severe CHD may have died and/or been replaced by EAHD patients [4]. Population screening programs from Singapore [9] and Japan [10] have investigated specific cardiac conditions: the former looked for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia in male army recruits, while the latter, running since 1973, recently reported on the clinical features and prevalence rate (0.02%) of asymptomatic atrial septal defects (ASD) among 7-13-year-old school children.…”

Abstract:Objective: To determine the prevalence, secular trends and associations of heart disease in a large unscreened, otherwise basically healthy, adolescent population. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional study of the cardiac status of 113,694 adolescents from the northern district of Israel, who completed the profiling process between the ages of 16 and 19, including all essential measures over a 22-year period. Results of imaging were categorized as either isolated valvar or structural abnormalities, and their clinically significant subgroups defined prospectively. The findings were correlated with the socio-demographic and anthropometric data and non-cardiac health conditions. Results: Of those sent for echocardiography, 1257 (0.93% of the total population) had isolated valvar disease and 216 (0.19%) had structural abnormalities, with 20% of both groups considered significant. Females had lower prevalence of heart disease. There was peak prevalence in the second 5-year period. Tall subjects or a past history of rheumatic fever had more valvar abnormalities. Thin subjects or those with skeletal anomalies had more structural abnormalities. Significant valvar and structural anomalies were more common in subjects with learning disorders, endocrine disorders and diabetes mellitus. Fewer valvar abnormalities were diagnosed in obese subjects. Heart disease was more common in those with non-solid tumors. Conclusion: Appreciable numbers of potentially healthy adolescents were found to have heart disease. There appeared to be an association with body size, skeletal abnormalities and relatively common medical disorders, the cause of which remains to be determined in prospective studies that could change the way common adolescent disease should be followed.

“…последнее десятилетие большинство авторов сходятся во мнении, что частота врожденных по-роков сердца (согласно МКБ-10 Q 20 -Q 28 ) варьирует от 19 до 75 на 1000 родившихся живыми [1][2][3], при этом тяжелые врожденные пороки регистрируются с часто-той 19,1-23,9 на 1000 рождений [4]. Большое значение в диагностике и определении генеза пороков сердца имеют фетальная и постнатальная эхокардиография, клинические и генетические методы исследования [4].…”
