Congenital heart disease
CHD: Congenital heart disease, a malformation of the heart or the large blood vessels near the heart. The term "congenital" speaks only to time, not to causation; it means "born with" or "present at birth." ... Peripheral pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the lung vessels well away from the heart)
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common type of birth defect. As medical care and treatment have advanced, babies with a CHD are living longer and healthier lives. Learn more facts about CHDs below.
The most common congenital heart defect is a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). The aortic valve opens and shuts to allow blood flow from the heart to the aorta.
Treatment for coronary heart disease (CHD) can help manage the symptoms and reduce the risk of further problems. CHD can be managed effectively with a combination of lifestyle changes, medicine and, in some cases, surgery.
