Every patient’s data<br>on echocardiographic report clearly indicating his<br>CHD type along with age and gender was recorded.<br>Variables of study i.e. type of CHDs, age, and gender<br>with relative frequencies were presented separately<br>graphically.<br>Results: Out of 298 diagnosed patients of CHD 156<br>were males and 142 were females. Isolated<br>ventricular septal defect found to be the most<br>common anomaly (32.6%). In combination atrial<br>septal defect and ventricular defect were found to be<br>most common with 5.4% burden rate. Out of 298<br>patients Acyanotic CHDs were 67.1% while Cyanotic<br>CHDs were found to be 32.9%.<br>Conclusion: Acyanotic CHDs were found to be<br>dominant over Cyanotic CHDs with relative<br>percentages of 67.1% and 32.9% respectively</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College}, author={Hafiz Muhammad Umer , Muhammad Usman Arshad, Furqan Mudassar, Abd Ul Slam , Saad Junaid, Rai Muhammad Asghar, Faiza Aslam}, year={2018}, month={Mar.} }
