broad and can be attributed to an issue
with one of the heart’s four chambers, a
heart valve, or how blood vessels move in

congenital heart defect is not free from
other defects, and defects can range from
mild, often requiring little if any medical
treatment, to very serious. In the latter case,
an infant may be immediately threatened
by a defect, while other serious conditions
develop over time.
