CHD family

A CHD family refers to a group where multiple members have congenital heart disease (CHD), a condition present at birth affecting the heart's structure or function. These families often experience shared genetic, environmental, or healthcare factors that influence the development of CHD in relatives. Understanding a CHD family can help identify hereditary risks, improve screening, and guide personalized management. Support networks within these families can also provide emotional and informational assistance, helping members cope with ongoing medical needs and promote better health outcomes.
