Introduction
Congenital Heart Disease is apart of the respiratory system. The respiratory system is very important and fragile. It constitutes many functions with in the body. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a series of cardiac defects. This disease is mostly prevalent at birth. However, it can develop at a later stage in life. It has become very significant in adulthood.
There are many forms of CHD. For example, atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects. The heart is a very complex organ. Every part of it plays am important role in it working and pumping sufficiently. CHD usually effects the right ventricular directly or indirectly (Gilbert et all, 2015). An MRI is the medical machine used to detect CHD and/or monitor it. Congenital …show more content…
This means that the baby’s heart is working to hard. The baby is using too much energy in making the their body pump blood to the heart and not enough to getting the nutrients they need to eat and grow. It may take longer for your child feed and it will be more tired.
There are different symptoms for adults. Adults may experience arrhythmias, cyanosis, shortness of breath, tiredness, dizziness, fainting, and edma. These symptoms can be very dangerous to a certain extent.
Treatment
For some with the disease, they do not require treatment. However, mostly affected will need the treatment to correct the defect. Treatment for congenital heart disease is mainly done in catheterizations or surgery. The severity of the defect or defects will determine what kind of treatment is needed.

Endovascular stents are one of the common treatments used to corrects defects within the heart. This treatment can be performed on any age. Studies have shown that it has successfully impacted patients with congenital heart …show more content…
It is a public health concern because it impacts so many people. There has not been enough information researched on the disease. Fundings should be provided to do research and find out exactly what the cause is of congenital heart disease. CHD is most prevalent in infants. Something must be done in order to save our young generation. We must do all that we can to save them. We also must, as a society, to make our lives last longer and be healthier. We need the support from surrounding communities and hospitals to bring awareness to this disease. If we could help find
