AB  - Excluding  patent  ductus  arteriosus  of  the  premature  infant,  congenital  heart  disease  is  estimated  to  occur  in  about  0.8%  of  all  children.1  Fortunately,  most  of  these  problems  are  minor  or  self-limited  and  do  not  require  intervention.  Congenital  heart  disease  requiring  intervention  is  less  common—about  3  to  4/1000.2  For  this  important  group  of  patients  with  heart  disease,  the  past  70  years  have  witnessed  a  remarkable  advance  in  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  techniques  such  that  many  of  these  children  with  previously  lethal  defects  may  now  lead  relatively  normal  lives.  Congenital  heart  disease  ranks  ninth  in  cause  of  death  of  infants  <1  year  at  2.1  per  100,000  live  births  in  the  United  States,  and  is  comparable  to  the  death  rate  for  sepsis  and  respiratory  distress  syndrome.3
