ABSTRACT Introduction: pediatric cardiology has evolved considerably in recent years on the basis of new embryological, pathological and physiological knowledge. This progress has not been unrelated to the development of new technologies. It is currently estimated that between 650,000 and 1,300,000 adults have cardiac malformations. Objective: to characterize clinically, epidemiologically and therapeutically the patients with congenital heart disease admitted to the Hospital Infantil Norte from January 2017 to December 2019. Clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic variables. Methods: a descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with the aim of characterizing patients admitted to the Hospital Infantil Norte Docente "Juan de la Cruz Martínez Maceira" with the diagnosis of Congenital Heart Disease. Results: it was evidenced that 71 % corresponded to the male sex, in patients from one year to five years old were the ones with the highest number (58 %) in this group the male sex predominated with 39 %, the symptom that had the highest presence was the cardiac murmur with 53 %, this in turn in the male sex with 20 %. Regarding the diagnosis, 37% of the patients with atrial septal defect were male, 20 % of whom were male. Conclusions: patients with congenital heart disease constitute a group with specificities such as age, time of diagnosis and therapy used, which places them as an entity of relatively frequent observation in the pediatric population.
