Congenital heart disease is characterized by abnormal structure and function of the heart, which is present at birth and results from prenatal insults. Congenital heart disease is among the most prevalent birth defects, affecting around 1% of births (about 40,000) per year in the USA.
A few congenital cardiac abnormalities may be minor and not be life-threatening. But severe malformations, on the other hand, can have life-threatening consequences. Infants having congenital heart disease can now live well into maturity due to improvement in detection and therapy.
