Many congenital heart defects have few or no signs or symptoms.
Pediatric Heart Problems in India
It is estimated that between 130000 to 270000 children are born with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) each year in India, of which approximately 80000 newborns would require intervention during the infancy each year. Between 3 – 10% of the present infant mortality may be accounted for by CHD. It is estimated that only 2 – 3% of the affected infants with serious heart disease in India receive timely attention. In all probability, the remaining 97 – 98% do not survive.
