Congenital heart malformations refer to structural abnormalities of the heart present at birth, often arising during fetal development. These conditions, also known as congenital heart defects (CHDs), can affect the heart's walls, valves, and blood vessels, disrupting the normal flow of blood. While some CHDs may have minimal impact on a person's health, others can be severe and require immediate medical attention. The causes of congenital heart malformations are diverse and may involve genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both. Advances in medical technology have enabled early detection through prenatal screening, allowing for timely intervention and treatment. Treatment options vary depending on the specific defect and its severity, ranging from medication to surgical procedures. Despite these advancements, congenital heart malformations remain a significant global health concern, necessitating ongoing research and medical efforts to improve prevention, diagnosis, and management. Early detection and intervention can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals with congenital heart defects, highlighting the importance of continued medical research and public awareness.
