The congenital heart disease incidence study was designed to collect valid data with respect to new diagnostic methods and to an improved system of preventive health care in order to compare the results with former studies. In the years 1979-1983 there were 41,725 live births in the Tyrol. Among these, 341 cases of congenital heart disease were recognised giving an incidence of 8.2 per 1000. This does not imply a real increase in congenital heart disease, but can be explained by differences in methodological bias. As in previous investigations as well in our study, ventricular septal defect has been noted as the most common cardiac lesion. A remarkable result is a 56% incidence of spontaneous closures. Within five years, 81 children died; 89% of them died by the age of one year.
