“…These independent regional studies show a prevalence range of 0.8-26.4 (mean = 7.10, 95% CI 2.94-11.27) per 1000 individuals. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] (Summaries of these studies are given in Tables 1 and 2.) The purpose of our study is to determine the as yet unknown prevalence and profile of CHDs in north-central India, including eastern Uttar Pradesh and adjoining Bihar, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh.…”

The prevalence of CHDs in our cohort was high, possibly because of the power of the diagnostic methods we used and the inclusion of all age groups. Adults with CHDs may significantly contribute to the prevalence of CHDs in the next generation, and this needs to be considered when estimating prevalence rates. Although several small regional studies have been carried out in India, there is an urgent need to establish a nationwide registry/database for congenital heart defects.

“…12 Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was the most frequent lesion seen in 69 (31.2%), followed by patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in 36 (16.3%) children. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the most frequent cyanotic heart disease seen in 17 (7.8%) patients.…”

“…15 The relative prevalence in specific zones and trends over the last five decades is as depicted in Table 6. 3,[16][17][18][19][20][21] It is worthwhile noting that attempts have been made to estimate the prevalence of CHDs in various population groups over the past decades, which has been supported with echocardiographic evidence. Our study encompassed all children up to the age of 18 years, which included live born subjects and those referred from outlying centers.…”

“…21,22 3,21 Among the cyanotic lesions, the most common lesion was TOF (61.11%). It was also observed that frequency of ASD was much higher compared to previous studies, whereas the frequencies of VSD and PDA favored comparably with the same.…”

“…This has been found to be higher in comparison to prevalence rates noted across both Europe and North America (8.2/1000 live births and 6.9/100 live births respectively). 3 Congenital heart disease has been classified as per Merck Manual of diagnosis broadly into Acyanotic and Cyanotic CHD. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD), Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), Pulmonary Stenosis (PS), Aortic Stenosis (AS), Coarctation of Aorta (COA) and Atrioventricular Septal Defect (AVSD) totally constitute 85% of all CHDs.…”

Background: Echocardiography has supplanted clinical acumen in diagnosis of congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Prevalence rates of CHDs across various regions of the world are subject to change over the course of time, with increasing use of this diagnostic modality. Objective: To assess the prevalence and types of CHDs.Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care center in South Karnataka, India. Transthoracic echocardiographic records of all patients suspected to have congenital heart disease, over a period of 60 months were analyzed. Categorization of data into acyanotic and cyanotic congenital heart disease, and further, into different types was done after an exhaustive search. Specific variables such as age, frequency and gender distribution of all kinds of CHDs were computed.Results: Of a total 112,372 pediatric patients who attended our center, 1451 reports of subjects suspected to have CHDs were analyzed. The prevalence was found to be 6.22 per 1000 subjects. Of the 700 subjects (48.24%) with CHD, 664 (94.85%) were diagnosed to have Acyanotic Congenital Heart Disease and 36 (5.14%) were diagnosed to have Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease. Among the Acyanotic CHD, Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) was found to be the most common (40.21%) seconded by Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) (21.53%). Among the 36 subjects diagnosed to have Cyanotic CHD, it was found that Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) was the most commonest lesion (61.11%).Conclusions: Increased utilization of Echocardiography as a diagnostic modality significantly helps to better appreciate ever varying prevalence rates and types of CHDs in different parts of India. Frequent longitudinal studies in this regard help in enhanced allocation of available resources and updating of available databases.
