ABSTRACT
A community based survey of congenital heart disease was carried out on a random sample of 11,833 children below 15 years in Delhi, India. Congenital heart disease was diagnosed on clinical history and/or clinical examination. Out of the examined sample, 50 were found suffering from congenital heart disease, giving an overall prevalence of 4.2/1000 (4.6/1000 in boys and 3.7/1000 in girls). The prevalence rate was slightly higher than other studies carried out in the country. The reason is obvious. The present study is community based while other studies were hospital or school based. The type of lesions were similar to those reported from other studies. The lesions in order of frequency were ventricular septal defect (46%), atrial septal defect (18%), patent ductus arteriosus (14%), Fallot's tetrology (10%), aortic stenosis (4%), and pulmonary stenosis (4%). Like other studies ventricular septal defect was the commonest lesion. The prevalence rate was higher in the age group 0-4 years and 5-9 years in boys whereas it was higher in adolescent age group (10-14 years) in girls.
