Overview

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection is a rare congenital heart disease. There is a very low incidence rate. Prevalence is difficult to determine due to the asymptomatic nature of the disease.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Autopsy data suggests that partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC) has an incidence of 0.4-0.7%. Many of these autopsy cases were asymptomatic and as a result the clinical incidence of PAPVC is much lower.
