Congenital heart defects are structural and / or functional defects of the heart and great vessels; they are related to the first cause of death in children younger than 1 year old. We performed an observational, analytical, case-control study with to identify prenatal risk factors related to the occurrence of congenital heart disease in the territory of San Antonio de los Baños, Havana, Cuba from December 2009 to January 2000. The sample consisted of 89 pregnant women whose product of conception had congenital heart disease. 66.3 % of cases with congenital heart disease had a relative with this disease; association was found between teratogens- medication intake and the presence of congenital heart disease. Extreme life ages are not a risk factor for having children with congenital heart disease.

Palabras clave : congenital heart disease; risk factors; teratogens.
