congenital heart disease

Congenital heart disease refers to a range of heart defects present at birth. These defects can affect the heart's structure, function, or blood flow. They may lead to issues such as abnormal heart chambers, valves that don’t work properly, or blood vessels that are incorrectly formed. Symptoms can vary widely, from none at all to serious complications requiring medical intervention. While some individuals may need surgery or other treatments, many can lead healthy lives with proper care. Early diagnosis and ongoing medical support are crucial for managing the condition effectively.
