The most important causes of childhood illness, disability and mortality in many countries are malformations and premature births. Objective: to determine the most significant medical and social risk factors for the birth of children with congenital heart defects. Material and research methods: We carried out a retrospective analysis of the incidence of congenital malformations, including CHD among children up to 14 years starting from 2007 and survey of women who gave birth to children with CHD. Research results: An analysis of the incidence of congenital malformations among the child population of the republic showed that over the past 10 years (2007–2016), a decrease in the overall incidence has been observed (1,4 times ). 1/3 of all congenital abnormals are related with heart. The most significant biological and social factors contributing to the development of congenital heart defects are the woman’s age during pregnancy, close marriage, the presence of extragenital pathologies in the woman, past viral infections, and the use of medications.
