A total of 112 children were included in the study. There were 62 males [55.4%] and 50 females [44.6%] with a male: female ratio of 1.2: 1. Ventricular septal defect was the commonest congenital heart disease with 39 [34.8%] patients followed by tetralogy of fallot comprising 14 patients [12.5%]. The most common pattern of congenital heart disease was correctable lesions, ventricular septal defect followed by tetralogy of fallot, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary stenosis and atrial septal defect.
