Key result
VSD ranks as the most common anomaly, found in 35% of newborns with suspected CHD.
Why the study?
Congenital heart disease in newborns requires thorough investigation and early detection to guide urgent intervention and management.
Observational (n=60)
No
Acyanotic congenital heart disease, primarily ventricular septal defect, is the most common pattern of CHD among newborns in this region, often presenting as an asymptomatic murmur.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports early echocardiography for suspected neonatal CHD in similar settings; leaves open whether consanguinity confers independent risk.
Hussain et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease (n=60). Consanguinity and sex was evaluated on Pattern of congenital heart disease. Among newborns with suspected congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect was the most common anomaly (35%), followed by patent ductus arteriosus (26.6%), atrial septal defect (8.3%), and tetralogy of Fallot (8.3%).
