Question

What complications can a baby with congenital heart disease experience?

Answer

Babies with congenital heart disease may experience complications such as pneumonia and pulmonary hypertension. Due to heart defects, the baby may also show symptoms like slow weight gain, decreased appetite, rapid breathing, and fatigue. If a baby is diagnosed with congenital heart disease, it is typically necessary to undergo surgery or interventional treatment during childhood to correct the heart defect. Parents should closely monitor their baby’s health condition and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment and management.
