Understanding Congenital Heart Conditions

Also referred to as a congenital heart defect, or CHD, these result from incomplete heart development, causing a baby to be born with the condition. They range in severity, from those that require careful observation to more complex conditions that require surgery. Some can be life-threatening when left untreated.

The direct cause of most congenital heart conditions is unknown, but they most likely stem from genetics or environmental factors. There is considered to be a link between smoking or taking certain medications during pregnancy and these conditions. There are many different congenital heart conditions. Some of the CHDs that we diagnose and treat include, but are not limited to:

  • Atrial Septal Defect (ASD)
  • Bicuspid Aortic Valve
  • Tricuspid Atresia
  • Ventricular Septal Defects
  • Coarctation of the Aorta
  • Patet Foramen Ovale

Diagnosing & Treating Congenital Heart Conditions

Although congenital heart conditions are present at the time of birth, there are three different stages of life when one may be discovered:

  • As an Adult – In some instances, an adult may be diagnosed with a congenital heart defect later in life. This may come about while hearing a heart murmur during a routine checkup, or due to imaging taken for another reason.

Again, treatment will depend on the type, size, severity, and type of defect and ranges from careful monitoring to complex surgical procedures. At any age, in order to stay as healthy as possible it is necessary to schedule regular checkups with a cardiologist for effective follow-up care.
