COMPLEX CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS NEWBORNS IN YAKUTIA

Abstract

The article presents a retrospective study on the detection of complex congenital heart defects (CHD) in newborns in Yakutia for 2 periods: 2001-2003 and 2013-2015. An increase in the dynamics of the frequency of detection of complex congenital heart defects in newborns in Yakutia is clearly shown. The most common cases were Fallot’s tetrad, obstructive aortic disease, pulmonary artery atresia, then total AVC, Ebstein’s anomaly, and pulmonary artery stenosis. Obstructive aortic diseases were reported only in the period 2013-2015. One of the factors in the detection of complex heart defects is a significant improvement in the material and technical base of medical institutions in Yakutia, improving the quality of diagnosis of CHD and the introduction of new diagnostic search methods, in particular, the active use of angiographic methods of research, computed tomography in angiography, magnetic resonance imaging of the heart.
