Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and mortality rates of congenital heart diseases (CHD) in newborns in French Guiana between 2012 and 2016, an area lacking prior research on this topic.
- The findings revealed that out of 33,796 births, there were 231 CHD cases, with anomalies primarily in the ventricular outflow tract and a significant number having chromosomal or genetic anomalies.
- The study indicates a high infant mortality rate associated with CHD, especially in cases of functionally univentricular hearts, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to reduce these mortality rates in the region.*
