According to statistics, about 8 out of 1000 newborns are diagnosed with congenital heart disease. Some cases can be detected in the womb before birth, while others are diagnosed after birth. Some types of heart disease in children allow them to live normal lives without additional treatment, requiring only careful monitoring and prevention of complications as advised by a doctor. However, severe cases may require treatment by a specialist. In addition to congenital heart disease, children can also develop heart diseases later in life, from infancy to adolescence, due to various causes such as rheumatic heart disease, Kawasaki disease, valvular heart disease from infections, myocarditis, and arrhythmias, which can lead to heart failure and death. It is essential to be examined and cared for by a pediatric cardiologist.
