Abstract

We studied the prevalence of congenital heart diseases (CHD) in newborns from risk groups in order to verify whether such risks justify the routine utilization of echocardiographic examination. We also wanted to evaluate the frequency of the different types of CHD; the positive and negative predictive values for CHD in the presence of heart murmurs, as well as the association between CHD and sex, race, birth weight, gestational age, post natal age and presence of cardiac signs.
