Congenital heart disease(CHD) is defined as an abnormality in cardio-circulatory anatomy or physiology that exists primarily at birth, even if it is discovered much later. It includes structural defects, congenital arrhythmia, and cardiomyopathies. CHD mostly result from altered embryonic development of a normal structure or failure of such a structure to progress beyond an early stage of embryonic or fetal development. The functional changes seen due to these abnormalities, in turn, may influence the anatomical and physiological development of remainder of the circulation.
