Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are the most common type of birth defect, affecting nearly 1 in 100 newborns. Understanding Congenital Heart Defects A congenital heart defect refers to a problem with the structure of the heart that is present at birth. These structural abnormalities of the heart are present at birth.

Objective To investigate the time to first childbirth and to compare the prevalence of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) in women with congenital heart disease (CHD) compared with women without CHD. Age was an important risk factor for ART also in women with CHD and should be considered in consultations with these patients.

Advances in pediatric cardiac surgery have resulted in a recent growing epidemic of children and young adults with congenital heart diseases (CHDs). In these patients, congenital defects themselves, surgical operations and remaining lesions may alter cardiac anatomy and impact the mechanical performance of both ventricles.
