ABSTRACT

Despite that the suspicion of congenital heart disease has been known for several centuries, the birth of pediatric cardiology as a medical-surgical discipline is just 70 years old. Since then, knowledge, advances in diagnostics, technology and hospital infrastructure has been growing more and more rapidly producing better results. At present, 85% of patients born with congenital heart disease reach adulthood and for the first time adults with congenital heart disease outnumber children. This revision gives a historical perspective and presents the current situation of congenital heart disease in our country and in the rest of the world.
