The incidence of congenital heart disease is approximately 1 per cent of all live births. Approximately 60 per cent of patients who die of congenital heart disease do so at less than two years of age. Very few patients with such lesions live beyond 45 years at the very most. In about 70 per cent of patients who are born with cardiac anomalies, the lesions are either of kinds that are already being operated upon successfully or for which operations are now being attempted and often are helpful.
先天性心脏病的发病率约占所有活产婴儿的1%。死于先天性心脏病的患者中,约60%在两岁前死亡。患有此类病变的患者极少数最多活到45岁。在约70%患有心脏畸形的新生儿中,其病变要么是已经能够成功进行手术治疗的类型,要么是目前正在尝试手术且往往有效的类型。
