“…4 In the present study of 10,000 consecutive cases undergoing echo 648 cases were diagnosed to have congenital heart diseases. Our studies show a male preponderance, which is in accordance with other studies by Chadha et al, Bidwai et al and Jain et al 5,6,7 The most frequent type of congenital heart diseases was found to be VSD, which is in accordance with other studies by Chadha et al, Bidwai et al, Vashista et al 8 , Sharma et al 9 , Andreg Robid et al 10 Shreshta et al 11 When considering age at presentation we found that maximum number of cases affected in paediatric age groups (0-15 yrs.) in the present study is 4.91% which is similar to study by Chadha et al as compared with other studies where incidence range from 0.27% -2.6% as shown in the Our study had 444 cases of acyanotic congenital heart disease, accounting 68.5% of cases and 120 cases of cyanotic congenital heart disease, i.e.…”

BACKGROUNDThe current study was undertaken at a tertiary care center, Bhopal, MP, India, with the objective of establishing frequency of occurrence of congenital heart diseases by echocardiography. MATERIALS AND METHOD10,000 consecutive cases undergoing Echo Color Doppler in the Cardiology Department Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal, between 1 st Jan 2009 and July 2011 were analysed. Echo CD was performed by consultant cardiologist using Acuson Aspen Color Doppler machine following the ASE guidelines. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONSIn the present study out of 10,000consecutive cases undergoing echo 648 were identified to having congenital heart diseases. Isolated VSD (30.5%), isolated ASD (23.6%) PDA (9%) and TOF (8.3%) were commonest defect observed. Most common congenital heart disease found in the present study is VSD and is most prevalent in males and is highest among 0-5 yrs.

“…In the present study, five most common CHD were VSD>ASD>PDA>TOF>PS and with compare with other studies as shown in Table 4. 6,7,8,9,11,13,14,15,16. VSD was the commonest congenital heart disease seen in our study (30.5%), which is similar to other Indian studies.…”

“…Acyanotic CHD (ACHD) accounted for 86.8% of all CHDs which was similar to the findings of ther workers. 15,16,17 VSD contributed 38.6% to the total cases of CHD which was followed by atrial septal defect (ASD-19.3%). VSD as a percentage of total CHD in this study was found to be almost similar as compared to those observed by Alabdulgader AAA 9 of 39.5% and Smitha R et al 18 of 40.47%.…”

“…Among the cyanotic CHDs, tetralogy of Fallot was the commonest lesion being observed in 9(10.8%) of the cases followed by 1(1.2%) each of TGA and EA, which was also reported by others. 15,16,17 In two of the 4 patients with Down syndrome, two had VSD followed by tetralogy of Fallot and atrioventricular septal defect (1 each). Tandon et al 19 had reported atrioventricular septal defect as the major lesions patients with Down syndrome, as the commonest lesion.…”

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to various abnormalities with the structure and functions due to anomalous development of the heart before birth. Usually classified into two types: acyanotic and cyanotic, CHD is the most common type of all birth defects and is responsible for more deaths in the first year of life than any other birth defects. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and clinical profile in a tertiary medical centre. Materials and Methods:The study was conducted in the department of Pediatrics, RIMS, Imphal, during a period of two years from August 2011 to July 2013 in which all admitted cases of CHD (0-12 years), were evaluated with detailed history, clinical examinations and routine investigations including chest X-ray (CXR), electrocardiogram (ECG) and confirmed by echocardiography. Results: 83 children (1.76%) were diagnosed with CHD during the study period of 2 years. Majority of cases (51.8%) were observed in the 1-12 months age group followed by 26.5% in 0-1 month, 18.1% in 1-5 years and 3.6% in 5-12 years age group respectively. Acyanotic congenital heart disease (ACHD) was the commonest type accounting for 86.8% of all CHDs out of ventricular septal defect (VSD) constituted 38.6% of the total CHDs. Among the cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the commonest type constituting 10.8% of all CHDs. The most predominat symptom was breathing difficulty (85.5%) followed by fever (62.7%), cough (60.2%), recurrent chest infection (57.8%), excessive cry (56.6%), reduced feeding (48.2%), increased sweating during feeds (44.6%), failure to thrive (26.5%) and blue lips (13.2%).There were 3(3.6%) mortalities in infants with complex CHDs. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of CHD will significantly contribute in reducing morbidity and mortality by prioritizing appropriate management.

“…there were 64% male children while only 36% are female. 7 In a study conducted by Daljit Singh et.al, the prevalence of male to female ratio of congenital heart disease in india has been reported as 1.1: 1 and 1.25: 1.6. Here our result is 1.7: 1, which coincides to the research value conducted by Daljit Singh et.al…”

BACKGROUND:This study was designed to determine the reasons for the variability of the incidence of congenital heart disease (CHD). The relative frequency of different major forms of CHD also differs greatly from study to study. METHODS: Cross sectional study carried over a period of 2 months in the patients who were admitted in department of paediatrics, GGH, Guntur. A total of 50 patients were included in the study. RESULTS: most common congenital heart disease is ventricular septal defect. And the common cyanotic lesion is tetrology of fallot. CONCLUSION: in most of congenital heart diseases definitive diagnosis can be made by echocardiography.
