Image
-Contributed by Navaneeth R Congenital heart disease (CHD) refers to structural and functional abnormalities in the heart present at birth. It is one of the most frequently diagnosed congenital disorders, affecting nearly 1.3% of newborns worldwide. The children born with CHD face significant challenges as the conditions often pose substantial risk for their life. The advancements in the medical field have enabled us to effectively manage these children, ensure their survival and improve their quality of life as they grow up.  Congenital heart defects in infants include numerous disorders ranging from minor defects to complex, challenging conditions.
