- Abstract
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are defects detected both prenatally and after birth. They are the most common congenital defects. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, CHD remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality in newborns, which has a great impact on economic aspects. It is crucial to provide a holistic approach to the care of children with CHD, including regular cardiac check-ups, appropriate drug treatment, surgical or cardiac interventions as needed, rehabilitation, psychological support, and education for patients and their families. Parents experience a variety of psychological problems. This article summarizes the influence of CHD in the psychological and economic areas.
