AB Structural  congenital  heart  diseases  (left-to-right  shunts,  obstructive  and  regurgitant  lesions,  and  right-to-left  shunts)  occur  in  10  to  12  per  1000  live-born  children;  the  incidence  is  higher  in  stillborn  infants  and  in  spontaneous  abortuses.  This  figure  excludes  bicuspid  aortic  valves,  patent  ductus  arteriosus  in  premature  infants,  and  tiny  muscular  ventricular  septal  defects  with  respective  incidences  of  10  to  20,  4  to  5,  and  30  to  40  per  1000  live-born  children.  Incidences  are  similar  in  all  countries,  and  annually  ~1,500,000  are  born  with  congenital  heart  disease.
