Congenital heart disease is the most commonly diagnosed disorder in newborns worldwide. While babies born with this condition are living longer and healthier lives, some may go undiagnosed until adulthood.
Dr. Katia Bravo, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist, explains the risks that pregnancy poses for those diagnosed with congenital heart disease.
Congenital heart disease is an abnormality in your heart's structure that you're born with. These birth defects can alter the way blood flows through the heart and cause a wide range of issues that may be life-threatening without intervention or surgery.
