%X an investigation was carried out at the "paquito gonz¨¢lez cueto" provincial pediatric and teaching hospital, in cienfuegos, to deepen into the knowledge of congenital cardiopathies and chromosomopathies and the association between them. to this end, it was conducted a study of 50 patients with chromosomic diagnosis registered at the cytogenetics laboratory, in cienfuegos, from april, 1988, to january, 1992. these individuals underwent cardiovascular physical examination, chest x-ray, ekg, and echocardiography. this latter was only for those cases suspected of cardiopathy. half of the patients presented congenital cardiopathy with greater frequency of the auroventricular duct plus inter-ventricular communication, and interauricular communication plus interventricular communication, which were connected mainly with dow's syndrome. it is concluded that there is a high association between the chromosomic disease and congenital cardiopathy that reduces the survival index of patients with chromosomopathies.
