Abstract

This research was performed to study the prevalence of Congenital Heart Diseases (CHDs) in Iraqi population. Data on the prevalence of CHDs were collected and analyzed from the major hospital of Amarah Province, Iraq from the year 2009 to 2014. The present investigation revealed a mean prevalence of 12.30 per 1000 live births of the total 5864 inpatients and live births with a yearly prevalence varying from 10.17 to 15.92 per 1000 live births.
The most frequent type of CHD was found to be Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) (21.16%) followed by Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) (17.11%), Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) (14.33%), Shunt (9.67%) and Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) (12.87%). The prevalence of CHDs in Amarah is on the rise from 2009 to 2014 which might be due to the better access to healthcare facility, better medical skills leading to improvement of diagnosis, attention or awareness among the medical authorities on the disease. The prevalence of CHDs in Ahwaz is quite significant and it needs immediate medical attention.
