Summary This paper summarizes the own investigations in ABO blood groups in 2427 propositi with congenital heart diseases. The complete material as well as the several types valvular aortic stenosis (n=242); coarctation of the aorta (n=127); pulmonary valvular stenosis (n=211); patent ductus arteriosus (n=325); atrial septal defect (n=296); ventricular septal defect (n=612); Fallot's tetralogy (n=316) are compared with the distribution of ABO blood groups in a sample of healthy inhabitants of Süd-Niedersachsen (n=694, control I) and 81985 persons of Germany (control II). For statistical evaluation the method of Woolf is used. The relative incidence are not significant in the different proofs that means there are no statistical correlations between ABO blood groups and congenital heart disease.
