3) The distribution of cardiovascular disease in order of frequency as follows : VSD 42.6%, Tetrallogy of Fallot 11.3%, Patent ductus arteriosus 8.7%, Atrial septal defect 7.7%, Pulmonary stenosis 5.1%.
4) Kawasaki disease with aneurysm & transposition of grat arteries were appeared as male dominance. Patent ductus arteriosus was female preponderence.
