Congenital Heart Defect 
By: Kylee Burt
What is it? 
● Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is a defect in 
the structure of the heart and vessels that 
shows up at birth. 
● There are many types of heart defects which 
causes it to be the leading birth defect that 
causes fatality.
Causes 
● Doctors often do not know why congenital heart 
defects happen. 
● Heredity may also be a factor,meaning if a 
parent has a heart defect,their child may be 
more likely to develop one as well.
Causes 
● Also other genetic disorders such as down 
syndrome can cause heart defects. 
● In fact, 50% of all babies with down syndrome 
have a heart defect.
How Common? 
● CHD is more of a common birth defect with 9 
out of 1000 babies born with CHD.
Can it be prevented? 
● We do not know what causes CHD therefore it 
isn't possible to prevent. 
● However, women who are pregnant can take 
certain steps to reduce the risk of their baby 
having CHD.
Current Treatment Options 
● The treatment of CHD varies from child to child 
depending on the type and severity of his/her 
condition. The most common types of treatment 
are: 
● Catheter procedures which are easier on the 
body than surgery 
● Open Heart Surgery may be needed if the 
defect cannot be fixed with a catheter 
procedure.
Surgery and Catheters 
● Open heart surgery
