Details
Congenital Heart Disease is the most common major birth defect, with an occurrence of 8/1000 live births, ~35,000 patients born each year in the US with Congenital Heart Disease, and with ~ 12,000 newborn/infant interventions. During the first year of life ~ 1/3 of all children born with Congenital Heart defects become critical ill and either die or received surgical treatment. Unrepaired critical CHD may result in progressive and irreversible secondary organ damage, principally to the heart, lungs, and CNS.
