title: [Malformations of the heart and vascular system in autopsy material of children].
abstract: As a result of the autopsy reports of a twenty-year-period from 1960 to 1979 there were 7.1% (n = 324) malformations of the heart and vascular system among 4,561 autopsies of still-born children and live-born ones up to their 16th years of age. Septal defects of the heart are most commonly observed. The malformations were classified and discussed according to nature, combinations and sex differences as well as with respect to importance for mortality, territorial and time distribution.
