Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is comprised of a vast array of anatomic variations producing specific alterations of physiology which are manifest in a limited number of clinical presentations. The number of anatomic combinations in CHD are so numerous that they defy memorization. A simple and logical classification of CHD can be based primarily upon pathophysiology. This type of classification attempts to distill the myriad of congenital heart lesions into categories from which the answers to several basic questions are provided.
