Helping you understand Our healthcare
It’s a heart problem a child is born with. It can affect how the heart pumps blood or how the heart is formed.
In most cases, the exact cause is unknown. Some may be linked to genetics, infections during pregnancy, or certain medications.
Blue lips or skin (cyanosis)
Fast breathing or tiring easily
Poor feeding or slow weight gain
Swelling in legs or tummy
Heart murmur (a sound heard with a stethoscope)
Most children grow and develop well. They may need regular checkups to monitor their heart and overall health.
Follow-up visits depend on the type of heart defect. Some children need checkups once or twice a year. Others may need closer monitoring.
