“…These results are in accordance with studies in Gorgan, northern Iran [17], South distract in Iran [20] Rwanda [4], and Xinjiang in China [21]. The study was done in India presented ASD was the commonest lesion followed by VSD similar to our study [18]. While another study presented VSD was the commonest (39.5%) then followed by ASD, PS, and PDA [22] also the study was carried out in Southwestern of Iran reported the commonest types were VSD (28.47%), ASD (10.39%) and TOF (9.3%) [13].…”

“…Several studies estimate the incidence of CHD is 4 up to 10 cases per 1000 live births [6,16]. A study from Iran have reported higher CHD incidence 8.6 per 1000 live births [17], another from China reports an overall CHD of 8.2 per 1000 total live births [14] and a study from India reports a lower incidence of 3.9 per 1000 live births but still higher than our study [18]. The lower incidence of CHD in our study may be due to lack proper checking and follow-up for all live births resulting in missed cases at birth and early neonatal period.…”

Congenital heart diseases (CHD) are common causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among young children and adolescents. It is the most common form of structural congenital defects. Little is known about incidence and type of these disorders in Sulaimani. Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the incidence of congenital heart diseases and their types in Sulaimani Governorate. The study was conducted in Sulaimani Pediatric Teaching Hospital and the Maternity Hospital during January 2015 to December 2016. A sample of 400 consecutive cases of CHD in children aged 0-12 years was recruited attending the echocardiographic department of the hospital for diagnosis or follow-up purposes. Demographic data was collected through a face-to-face interview with the mothers of cases. A total number of new live births for 2015-2016 and those with congenital heart diseases were obtained from the medical records of the department of statistics of Sulaimani Maternity Teaching Hospital. The overall incidence of all types of congenital heart diseases was 1.7/1000, 1.6/1000 live births for the year 2015 and 2016 respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in incidence between males and females over the two years, male to female risk ratio 1.83 (95% CI 1.09-3.14, p 0.007). The commonest types of cyanotic congenital heart diseases were tetralogy of Fallot (38.9% of all cyanotic defects), complete atrioventricular canal (22.1%), and transposition of great arteries (18.2%), while the most common types of non-cyanotic congenital heart disease were atrial septal defect (34.1% of all non-cyanotic defects), ventricular septal defect (31.6%), and the other defects are less common. In conclusion, tetralogy of Fallot, atrial septal defects, and ventricular septal defects are the commonest congenital heart deformities in Sulaimani Governorate; the incidence is lower than other countries but this could be an underestimation.

“…10 Females were slightly more affected in this study with male to female ratio of 0.9:1 which is similar to studies done in different parts of the world. 11 Further we have observed that girls with RHD are slightly younger than boys, similar to observation made by Shrestha et al where RHD was commoner in girls and affecting them at a younger age. 3 The median duration of symptoms among new cases was 1 year (range, 1 week to 9 years) with one child had symptoms for as long as nine years without seeking any health care facilities.…”

Backgrounds and Aims: Rheumatic heart disease is the commonest acquired heart disease in children of developing world presenting earlier and with a more severe valvular lesion. This study was conducted to assess the clinical and demographic profile, pattern of valvular involvement and management modalities among children with rheumatic heart disease.Methods: This was a hospital-based observational study, performed at Shahid Gangalal National Heart Center where all children less than 15 years of age with confirmed echocardiographic diagnosis of rheumatic heart disease from June 2015 to May 2016 were evaluated and relevant data were recorded.Results: Two hundred and eleven children were diagnosed with rheumatic heart disease. The mean age was 11.9 ± 2.2 years with (100) 47.4% male and (111) 52.6% female. The median duration of symptoms among new cases was 1 year (interquartile range of 0.5 to 2 years). The most common symptom was dyspnea present in (187) 88.6% children followed by palpitation (34.5%). Mitral valve was most commonly affected in (141) 96.5% while isolated aortic valve involvement was seen in (8) 3.5%. Isolated mitral regurgitation was the most common lesion present in 118 (55.9%) children, while 50 (23.7%) children had combination of mitral and aortic regurgitation. Mitral valve was significantly more commonly affected in females and aortic valve commonly affected in males (p= 0.003).Conclusions: Rheumatic heart disease although declining in developed countries, remains to be the commonest acquired heart disease in developing and underdeveloped countries. Efforts are needed to improve primary and secondary preventive measures.Nepalese Heart Journal 2016; 13(2): 33-36

“…Mandal S et al 17 reported that males had a higher (13.5%) prevalence of IHD than females (9.4%) (P> 0.05). Similar reports were given by Bhardwaj R et al 21 and Murthy PD et al 19 The age wise prevalence of CHD among males was also high when age wise prevalence of compared to females. (p = 0.01).…”
