A congenital heart defect (CHD) results when the heart, or blood vessels near the heart, don’t develop normally before birth.
Congenital heart defect is one of the most common types of birth defects. Each year 1 in 100 babies is born with heart disease.
The defects can involve the walls of the heart, the valves of the heart, and the arteries and veins near the heart.
There are many types of congenital heart defects. Some defects require no treatment, but some require treatment soon after birth.
