title: [A post-mortem analysis of 712 cases of congenital heart disease (author's transl)].
abstract: Congenital cardiovascular malformations were found in 712 cases (32.1%) out of 2159 autopsies, performed on children less than 16 years old, at the Department of Pathology of the Institute of Pediatrics in Warsaw since 1959. A detailed retrospective analysis of all the cases was performed. The author's own classification of congenital heart diseases was used in this analysis. The incidence of particular heart malformations or syndromes was presented. The most frequent ones were: transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot and ventricular septal defects, in a decreasing frequency. An analysis of the age distribution of various cardiac malformations and a short analysis of the causes of death was made. The incidence of congenital heart diseases accompanied by other congenital malformations was analysed.
