Congenital heart disease is a daunting diagnosis for any parent. We’ll cover common types of medications used to treat congenital heart disease, what parents should know about their use, and potential side effects to watch out for. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

Objective Early risk assessment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is crucial to ensure timely treatment. We hypothesize that applying artificial intelligence (AI) to chest x-rays (CXRs) could identify the future risk of PAH in patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD).
