%X Se realiza una investigaci¨®n en el Hospital Pedi¨¢trico Provincial Docente "Paquito Gonz¨¢lez Cueto" de Cienfuegos, para profundizar en el conocimiento de las cardiopat¨ªas cong¨¦nitas y las cromosomopat¨ªas y la asociaci¨®n entre ellas. Para esto se estudiaron 50 pacientes con diagn¨®stico cromos¨®mico registrados en el Laboratorio de Citogen¨¦tica de Cienfuegos, desde abril de 1988 hasta enero de 1992, a los cuales se les realiz¨® examen f¨ªsico cardiovascular, radiograf¨ªa de t¨®rax, electrocardiograma, y en los casos sospechosos de cardiopat¨ªa, ecocardiograf¨ªa. La mitad de los pacientes presentaron cardiopat¨ªa cong¨¦nita, con mayor frecuencia de canal auriculoventricular, comunicaci¨®n interventricular y comunicaci¨®n interauricular m¨¢s comunicaci¨®n interventricular, que se asociaron principalmente al s¨ªndrome de Down. Se concluye que existe una alta asociaci¨®n entre enfermedad cromos¨®mica y cardiopat¨ªa cong¨¦nita, la que disminuye el ¨ªndice de supervivencia de los pacientes con cromosomopat¨ªas. 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.
