The fear of the unknown, of potential surgeries, and of long-term outcomes can be paralyzing. This fear can be compounded by the uncertainty surrounding the condition, as each CHD case is unique, and outcomes can vary widely. It’s essential to work with a pediatric cardiologist who has experience with congenital heart defects.
