Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, congenital heart disease can be passed down from a parent to a child. If one or both parents have a congenital heart defect, there is an increased risk of their child having the condition as well. However, it is important to note that not all congenital heart defects are inherited and some can occur due to other factors such as infections during pregnancy or exposure to certain medications or substances.

The initial treatment process for a child with congenital heart disorder depends on the type and severity of the condition. This could include medications for visible symptoms and monitoring with regular checkups.

The tests for congenital heart disorders do not always require hospitalization. Many of the tests can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means the patient can leave the hospital or clinic on the same day. However, some tests may require a short hospital stay, particularly if the patient is an infant or young child.

The treatment options for congenital heart disease may depend on the type and severity of the condition. These options may include medications or procedures like cardiac catheterization.
