HD, heart disease; TB, tuberculosis; LAP, left atrial pressure; VSD, ventricular septal defect; ASD, atrial septal defect; TOF, Tetralogy of Fallot; AV, atrioventricular; PDA, patent ductus arteriosus. * VSD in absence of TOF. Children with congenital heart disease: n = 20 (34%). Two children with TOF had concomitant ASD and one child with TOF had concomitant PDA. One child had VSD and ASD, one child had VSD, ASD and PDA.
