    Author: Wilk F, Nesser HJ, Markt B, Hohenauer L.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 1985 Jun 30; 135(12):298-300. PubMed ID: 2930952.
    Abstract:
    During a period of 22 months there were 84 cases of congenital cardiac malformations diagnosed during the first year of life. This figure corresponds to about 80% of all existing cardiac malformations present in the population covered. Noninvasive measures including echocardiography were sufficient for diagnostic and therapeutic decisions in 75% of the cases. 18% of the malformations had to be operated during the first year of life. There were 8 deaths, 5 of them due to irreparable malformations or underlying conditions.
