Abstract: The prevalence of Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) has been described to be 8,2 per 1000 live \nbirths in European countries.(1) Congenital heart disease is a collective term for a large number \nof different diagnoses with different anatomical substrate, complexity and prognosis. The \nmost common subtypes that we encounter are: ventricular septal defect (VSD 2.6 per 1000 \nlive births), atrial septal defect (ASD 1.6 per 1000 live births), persistent arterial duct (PDA 0.9 \nper 1000 live births), pulmonary stenosis (PS 0.5 per 1000 live births), tetralogy of Fallot (TOF \n0.3 per 1000 live births), coarctation of the aorta (0.3 per 1000 live births), transposition of the \ngreat arteries (TGA 0.3 per 1000 live births) and aortic stenosis (0.2 per 1000 live births).
