Background : The heart is a vital organ that plays an important role in infants and children who are experiencing growth and development. Seven to eight babies over 1000 live births were born with congenital heart disease (CHD). Clinical manifestations depend on the severity of the illness ranging from asymptomatic to heart failure. With the discovery of echocardiography many of congenital heart diseases can be detected. We aim to describe the clinical profile of CHD in neonates treated at Perinatology Ward Dr.M.Djamil Hospital Padang from January 2017 until January 2018 includes gestation age, birth weight, sex, clinical symptoms, type of CHD and accompany diseases.
