Each year approximately 40,000 babies are born in the United States with a congenital heart defect. Thousands of them will not reach their first birthday and thousands more die before they reach adulthood.
Almost half of all children and adults with complex congenital heart disease have neurological and developmental disabilities
More than 50% of all children born with congenital heart defect will require at least one invasive surgery in their lifetime.
The warning signs of congenital heart defect in infants and children may include a heart murmur or abnormal heart sound, cyanosis (a bluish tint to the skin, fingernails and/or lips), fast breathing, poor feeding, poor weight gain, an inability to exercise and excessive sweating
