Congenital heart defects (CHD) are defects in the heart’s structure and heart vessels that are present from birth. These defects will either cause the blood to flow in an abnormal manner or cause an obstruction to normal blood flow. However, with some defects (as in the case of long QT syndrome), the heart’s rhythm can be affected. Congenital heart defects rank among the most common birth defects and they are the #1 cause of birth-defect related deaths.
