Body was changed:

Congenital cardiovascular anomalies are relatively common, with an incidence of up to 1% if small muscular VSDs are included. As a group, there is a much greater frequency in syndromic infants and in those that are stillborn. 

Pathology

These defects as a group have a geterogenousheterogeneous aetiology with many resulting from an interplay between both genetic and environmental factors.

A list of anomalies and their approximate frequencies are given below:

Other valvular anomalies

Percentages may not necessary add up to a 100 due to overlap and simultaneous occurrence of anomaliesabnormalities.

Associations

Congenital cardiac anomalies can be found with many aneuploidic conditions which include:
