Abstract
Introduction: The article analyzes the risk factors that contribute to the development of congenital heart defects in children. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 162 case histories of children with congenital heart defects who received treatment in the cardiac surgery department of the clinic. Results: The leading risk factors were established: Anemia (48.5%), chronic placental insufficiency (38%), threatened abortion (32.7%), toxicosis of the first half of pregnancy (22.3%) and acute viral infection transmitted in the early stages pregnancy (21.3%). Conclusion: Pregnant women at risk of congenital heart defects of the fetus need close attention and screening, fetal echocardiography, consultation and observation by a pediatric cardiologist from the intranatal period. Carrying out preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of having a baby with congenital heart diseases.
