Congenital Heart Disease Management in Children

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) in children refers to heart defects present at birth, affecting normal heart function. Management involves a team of specialists who assess the severity of the condition. Treatment options vary from medication to manage symptoms, to surgical interventions correcting structural issues. Regular monitoring is essential to track the child's growth and heart function. Parents are educated about signs of complications and encouraged to promote a healthy lifestyle. With appropriate care, many children with CHD can lead active, fulfilling lives, though some may require lifelong follow-up to address any ongoing challenges.
