They are basically structural defects that appear in the heart and blood vessels<\/p>\n<p>Inspite of being the most common kind of of birth defect, <strong>congenital heart disease<\/strong> has no known prevention or cure but it can most certainly be corrected through surgical and\/or interventional procedures.

Timely diagnosis, surgical intervention and periodic follow-ups have helped hundreds of CHD patients live longer and healthier lives.<\/li>\n<li>More than 50% of all children born with a <strong>congenital heart defect<\/strong> will require at least one invasive surgery in their lifetime. Also, he\/she may not be able to gain weight as rapidly as other infants hence parents and caregivers are expected to constantly remain in touch with the child\u2019s pediatric cardiologist\/heart surgeon through routine follow-up visits.<\/li>\n<li>Survival rates which were very low in past decades have improved drastically \u00a0with the emergence of advanced testing and treatment options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Children&#8217;s Heart Centre at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital is a world-class cardiac &amp; critical care center offering medical &amp; surgical care to neonates, infants and children with all types of heart ailments<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kokilabenhospital.com\/departments\/centresofexcellence\/childrensheart_hospital_in_mumbai.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.kokilabenhospital.com\/departments\/centresofexcellence\/childrensheart_hospital_in_mumbai.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Taking care of children with <strong>heart defects<\/strong> can be extremely difficult especially for parents and caregivers who are incapable of handling the financial hurdles that may arise due to expensive treatment.
