Summary
The heart is the organ most frequently affected by birth defects, and congenital heart disease (CHD) is present in almost 1% of newborns. Over the past 50 years, innovations in cardiac surgery have transformed the outcomes of children born with CHD, such that 85% of these children now survive into adulthood. As a result, our focus is shifting towards the functional outcomes of children with these common birth malformations, not least their neurodevelopmental outcomes.
