Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are structural abnormalities in the heart present at birth. Affecting the heart's walls, valves, or blood vessels, CHDs can range from simple to complex. Diagnosis typically involves echocardiograms and cardiac catheterisation. Treatment depends on the defect's severity, including medication, interventional procedures, or surgery.
