An analysis of 555 consecutive cases of congenital heart disease in Ceylon has shown that for the whole series interatrial septal defect is the commonest cardiac lesion; next is interventricular septal defect, followed by persistent ductus arteriosus. Interventricular and interatrial septal defects are equally common among all the patients below 16 years of age, but interventricular septal defects are commonest among those below 11 years. Persistent truncus arteriosus is unusually common, while coarctation of the aorta and congenital aortic stenosis are rare, as compared with series reported from other places.
对锡兰555例连续性先天性心脏病病例的分析表明，在整个系列中，房间隔缺损是最常见的心脏病变；其次是室间隔缺损，然后是动脉导管未闭。室间隔缺损和房间隔缺损在所有16岁以下患者中同样常见，但室间隔缺损在11岁以下患者中最为常见。与其他地方报告的系列相比，永存动脉干异常常见，而主动脉缩窄和先天性主动脉狭窄则很少见。
