Аннотация

Currently, congenital pathology of the cardiovascular system, which is the root cause of early disability and infant mortality, is becoming increasingly important; congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common malformations among other malformations and remain a global problem in modern medicine. The development of technology, industry and environmental changes are leading to an increasing increase in the number of children with CHD. According to various literature data, the incidence of CHD in children ranges from 8 to 25 cases per 1000 live newborns. In Uzbekistan, about 2,000 children with CHD are born annually, of which almost 70% do not live to be one year old.
