CHD occurs in approximately 1% of live-born infants. Nearly half of all cases of CHD are diagnosed during the first week of life, or now that fetal echocardiogram is becoming so widespread and available, diagnosis is made in utero (up to 70%). In patients with complex CHD, neonatal hospital mortality can be as high as 7%. These patients have a high frequency of multiple congenital anomalies, genetic syndromes, low birthweight, and prolonged length of stay. The most frequently occurring anomalies seen during this first week are patent ductus arteriosus, dextro-transposition of the great arteries, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), tetralogy of Fallot, and pulmonary atresia.
