    • Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a devastating complex of diseases resulting from defects of development. It affects more than 1 of every 100 live births and is responsible for most prenatal losses (1,2). Additionally, 3 per 1000 live births require an intervention (catheter based or surgical) during the first year of life...

    • Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the commonest abnormality associated with oesophageal atresia, occurring in about 20% of cases. Echocardiography should be performed prior to repair of the atresia to identify CHD and lateralise the aorta. Knowledge of the anatomical type and physiological consequences of the CHD enables a co-ordinated plan of management...

    • Congenital heart disease (CHD) is defined as abnormal development of heart structures during intrafetal life, resulting in more or less complex malformations of the heart and great vessels. Many patients benefit by surgical intervention or percutaneous interventional radiological procedures to correct the anatomical anomalies. These interventions have become more and more successful, allowing for longer life spans for patients with CHD, and thus enabling most of them to reach adulthood...

    • Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the commonest form of congenital disease with an incidence of 11.6 per 1,000 live births [1]. The perioperative care of children with CHD undergoing cardiac surgery requires an integrated multidisciplinary team approach. The great strides achieved in the care of these children would not have been possible without dedicated teams of medical personnel working with a concerted and standardized approach. The achievements have been such that perioperative mortality rates have decreased significantly...

    • Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, with an incidence of approximately 0.8% of live births. Improvements in surgery have altered the impact of CHD enormously, not only improving mortality in many conditions but also allowing some infants to survive into adulthood when previously they would have died within the first few days after birth. This increased survival has led to a huge increase in the number of survivors of surgery for CHD in childhood now reaching adulthood...
