In the period from 1961 to 1974, 80 cases of congenital coronary artery anomalies in necropsies of infants and stillborn fetuses were diagnosed in the Czech Socialist Republic among more than 2.1 million consecutive deliveries. In the population thus defined the mean frequency of these anomalies was 3.8 per 100,000, with extreme values from 1.3 to 7.0 per 100,000. The epidemiological and clinical phenomena of these anomalies and their relations to selected biological-genetic and ecological factors are discussed.
