Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are structural abnormalities of the heart that are present at birth. These defects can affect the heart’s chambers, valves, or major blood vessels, leading to impaired blood flow and potential complications. At our pediatric practice, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care, support, and education to children born with congenital heart defects and their families. We offer specialized cardiac evaluations, individualized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring to ensure optimal heart health and well-being. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates closely with cardiologists, surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to provide personalized care and support throughout the child’s journey with congenital heart defects.
