CHF HRIDAAN

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common congenital problem in children, accounting for nearly 25% of all congenital malformations. The prevalence of CHD in India is approximately 4 cases per 1000 live births. Early recognition of such diseases is of immense importance as clinical presentation and deterioration can lead to sudden collapse. Incidence and prevalence of CHD vary worldwide. In Asia, the estimated prevalence is 9.3/1000 live births while the estimated total CHD birth prevalence in Europe is significantly higher than in North America (8.2/1000 live births vs 6.9/100 live births). Keeping the fact that most of the congenital heart patients require treatment in the first year of their life, poor parents find it impossible to raise funds for treatment which can run into lakhs.
