Congenital heart disease describes a condition involving the structure of the heart that is present at birth. This can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart, and can disrupt the normal flow of blood through the heart.
People born with congenital heart disease need lifelong care from diagnosis through adulthood. The diagnosis and management of patients with congenital heart disease require the collaborative efforts of specialists in different aspects of cardiology and related medical fields.
Doctors use a physical exam and special heart tests to diagnose congenital heart disease.
