The psychomotor development of 202 children with congenital heart disease was assessed by means of the Tsunage's Scales of Child Development. Severe or moderate developmental delay, defined as a Developmental Quotient of below 75,or low scores on more than three of five developmental subcategories, was manifested by 22 patients (11%). Thirty patients (15%) were found to have mild developmental delay, defined as low scores on one or two developmental subcategories. Fourteen of these 52 patients with developmental delay had neither cyanosis, congestive heart failure nor a malformation syndrome which included mental retardation, although the presence of cyanosis and congestive heart failure was found to be relatively associated with developmental delay. These results indicate that we must care about psychomotor development as well as cardiac disease itself in cardiac children.
