This article describes the incidence of congenital cardiac disease, the different treatment rates among countries, and future solutions for achieving improved coverage for the children with cardiac diseases in South America. An incidence of congenital cardiac disease of 8 per 1000 live births appears to be a fair approximation for the population of the world and also the population in South America. Nevertheless, a wide variation exists in the observed incidence of congenital cardiac disease in South American countries, which can be partly explained by inequalities in the access to diagnosis, differences in the diagnostic criteria, and true regional variations. It is estimated that 58,718 children are born yearly with congenital heart disease in South America. Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina have the highest number, followed by Peru, Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Guyana. It is also estimated that in South America, 24,081 children per year with a new diagnosis of congenital cardiac disease do not receive any treatment. This paper provides strategies for improving the access to and quality of pediatric cardiac surgery in South America. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2150135110381391","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,27]],"date-time":"2010-09-27T22:39:39Z","timestamp":1285627179000},"page":"321-327","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery in South America"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"1","author":[{"given":"Nestor","family":"Sandoval","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Cardioinfantil, Instituto de Cardiolog\u00eda, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Kreutzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Nacional Alejandro Posadas, Hospital Universitario Austral, Buenos Aires, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcelo","family":"Jatene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Coraz\u00f3n INCOR, Sao Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas Di","family":"Sessa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William","family":"Novick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Children Heart Foundation, University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey Phillip","family":"Jacobs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Congenital Heart Institute of Florida (CHIF), All Children\u2019s Hospital, Children\u2019s Hospital of Tampa, University of South Florida College of Medicine, Cardiac Surgical Associates of Florida (CSAoF), St Petersburg and Tampa, Florida, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pierre-Luc","family":"Bernier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery, The Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre, Montr\u00e9al, Quebec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christo I","family":"Tchervenkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery, The Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre, Montr\u00e9al, Quebec, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2150135110381391","volume-title":"The Global Burden of Disease: A Comprehensive Assessment of Mortality and Disability From Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors in 1990 and Projected to 2020","author":"Murray CJL","year":"1996"},{"key":"bibr2-2150135110381391","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(96)07493-4"},{"key":"bibr3-2150135110381391","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(96)07495-8"},{"key":"bibr4-2150135110381391","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pmed.0030442"},{"key":"bibr5-2150135110381391","unstructured":"Ministerio de la Protecci\u00f3n Social.
