Currently, the worldwide prevalence of congenital heart disease is about 9/1,000 births. Due to medical and surgical developments in recent decades, more people born with congenital heart disease survive to adulthood 1. This research aims to establish the statistics of adolescent and adult patients who were diagnosed with congenital heart disease by the pediatric cardiology service of the General Hospital Dr. Eduardo Vázquez N, from January 2020 to December 2022. This is a retrospective, observational study, in which 851 echocardiogram reports were reviewed. Sixty of them belonged to the selected age group, of these, 19 were discarded because they were detected to have structurally healthy hearts, and the rest (forty-one), were diagnosed with congenital heart disease. The most prevalent congenital heart diseases were interseptal defects such as ventricular septal defect and interatrial septal defect, followed by persistent ductus arteriosus, which corresponds to the prevalence of congenital heart diseases at the national level.
