Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) are the #1 birth defect in the United States today. More than 44,000 infants (almost one out of one hundred) are born with heart defects each year. That is 1 every 15 minutes. Over the past 40 years, advances in diagnosis and surgical treatment have led to dramatic increases in survival for children with serious heart defects. Help us continue this effort so all children with heart defects can live a healthy life!
