Can Congenital Heart Defects Be Effectively Treated?
Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are structural abnormalities in the heart present at birth. Treatment options range from surgical interventions to catheter-based procedures and medications. The success rate of these treatments has improved significantly over the years, with many infants leading normal lives post-treatment. However, the complexity of the defect and the infant's overall health can influence outcomes. Long-term follow-up is often required to monitor for potential complications.
