ABSTRACT
Background: congenital heart defects are the most common group of congenital anomalies and the majority of them due to their evolution and pathophysiological impact are a chronic disease of childhood. Objective: to describe some clinical characteristics of patients with congenital heart disease in the province of Sancti Spíritus. Methodology: a descriptive longitudinal study on the behavior of congenital cardiopathies in the province of Sancti Spíritus from January 2011 to December 2012, it encompassed all children born in maternity hospitals across the province, as well as all cared patients at the provincial pediatric cardiology consultations. The variables used were sex, age at diagnosis and clinical presenting symptoms. Results: the incidence of congenital heart disease was 3.3 per thousand live births, the diagnosis of the condition occurred during the 1st month of age in 19 patients for a 56%. Clinical signs at presentation were asymptomatic heart murmur 62%, followed by cardiorespiratory difficulty. Conclusions: congenital malformations of the cardiovascular system are important to consider when assessing all patients at birth in maternity hospitals.REFERENCES
