Question
A four-year-old girl has been diagnosed with congenital heart disease, with her heart not fully developed and a gap present. Parents are concerned whether this condition will lead to sequelae.
Answer
Congenital heart disease is a cardiovascular malformation caused by abnormal cardiovascular development during fetal stage, and it is one of the most common heart diseases in childhood. The methods for interventional treatment of congenital heart disease have been continuously improved through clinical practice and are now relatively mature. After several years of follow-up observation, all children who have undergone interventional treatment have completely recovered to normal, with no impact on their growth and development, and they are able to handle all kinds of work, study, and daily life.
