Özet
Introduction: Congenital and acquired heart defects are defined as abnormalities in cardiocirculatory structure or function that occurs at birth and later in the life. Congenital and acquired heart defects are evolving, so that the morphology of heart changes in time. For example, pulmonary stenosis can become pulmonary atresia. The morphology, pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis between these two disorders are enormous. Often these defects are discovered accidentally during routine examinations even in old age patients. Congenital heart defects are the most common out of all human birth defects. Most of all acquired heart defects were of rheumatic etiology. Heart defects often go undetected in the general population and are discovered even in the late stage of disease or even end up with a sudden death in athletes. Symptoms usually begin between the ages of 20 and 30. There are cases of sudden cardiac death in children and youth, during or immediately after physical activity - athletes.
