Congenital Heart Disease

5/3/2020

Congenital heart disease is a birth defect with problems to the heart’s structure and function
present at birth. It is one of the most common birth defects that causes death in the first year
of life. Most congenital heart problems are structural issues like holes and leaky valves which
can be heart valve deformities, complications with the heart’s “walls”, issues with the heart’s
muscle, and bad connections among blood vessels. Even though these can be very serious
conditions, they can be treated with surgery. In some cases, doctors can identify the problems
during pregnancy. If you would like a second opinion on your treatment and diagnosis contact
