"Congenital Heart Disease" (book)

"Congenital Heart Disease" refers to a range of structural problems with the heart present at birth. These defects can affect the heart's walls, valves, or blood vessels, disrupting normal blood flow. Some conditions are minor and may cause few symptoms, while others are more complex and require medical intervention. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have significantly improved outcomes, allowing many individuals to lead healthy lives. Understanding these conditions helps in early detection, management, and tailored care to best support those affected from infancy through adulthood.
