What Is Congenital Heart Defects?
Congenital heart defects are structural problems in the heart that are present at birth, affecting the heart's ability to pump blood and regulate its flow. These defects can range from mild to severe and may require surgical intervention or specialized care to ensure proper heart function. As a parent, it can be overwhelming to learn that your child has a congenital heart defect, but with the right treatment options, many children can lead healthy, active lives.Why Kenyan Patients Choose India for Congenital Heart Defects Treatment
