Congenital heart disease refers to structural abnormalities in the heart that are present at birth. These abnormalities can occur during fetal development, posing a variety of complications and challenges for both the affected individual and their medical providers.
During fetal development, the heart and great vessels form and grow in a complex way. Any disruption or abnormality during this critical period can result in structural abnormalities in the heart and blood vessels. These abnormalities can range from minor flaws, such as a small hole in the heart, to more complex problems, such as abnormal connections between the heart chambers or vessels.
Medical technology advancements, such as the Dr. Cardio portable ECG machine, have transformed the way doctors diagnose and treat congenital heart conditions. This innovative device monitors the electrical activity of the heart for 24 hours or more, providing valuable insights into its function and allowing for more personalized care and treatment.
Early detection, proper diagnosis, and timely intervention are critical to managing these abnormalities and improving outcomes for people with congenital heart disease. Individuals with structural abnormalities can live healthy and fulfilling lives by staying informed and working closely with their healthcare providers.
