Cardiac Congenital Abnormalities

Congenital heart abnormalities are structural issues with the heart that are present at birth. These defects can affect how blood flows through the heart and to the rest of the body, potentially leading to problems like inefficient oxygen delivery, fatigue, or breathing difficulty. Types include holes in the heart walls, abnormal connections between blood vessels, or malformed valves. Some defects are minor and may not need treatment, while others require medical intervention or surgery. Advances in diagnosis and care have significantly improved outcomes, enabling many individuals with congenital heart defects to lead healthy lives.
