Paediatric Congenital Heart Defects: Nurturing Little Hearts

Paediatric congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities that affect the heart's structure and function at birth. They range from mild to severe, and early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for ensuring the best possible outcomes for children with these conditions.

Understanding paediatric congenital heart defects and their management is essential for nurturing little hearts:

Congenital heart defects occur during foetal development and can involve the heart's walls, valves, or blood vessels.
Symptoms can vary depending on the type and severity of the defect and may include difficulty breathing, poor feeding, bluish discolouration of the skin, and inadequate growth.
Timely diagnosis through prenatal screening or postnatal examinations, such as echocardiography, enables early intervention and management.

Managing paediatric congenital heart defects involves a multidisciplinary approach:

Treatment options range from observation and medication for mild defects to surgical or catheter-based interventions for complex cases.
Paediatric cardiologists, paediatric cardiac surgeons, and other healthcare professionals collaborate to provide comprehensive care, ensuring optimal growth and development.
