The worldwide prevalence of congenital heart disease is estimated at approximately nine out of 1000 live births, which has an important geographical variability. Although in developed countries, the prevalence of complex congenital heart diseases has decreased due to fetal screening, in developing countries, it is increasing1. In addition, cardiologists are increasingly attending to adult patients with congenital heart disease due to improved survival, treatments, and diagnostic tools.
