Congenital means inborn or existing at birth. Among the terms you may hear are congenital heart defect, congenital heart disease and congenital cardiovascular disease. The word "defect" is more accurate than "disease." A congenital cardiovascular defect occurs when the heart or blood vessels near the heart don't develop normally. Heredity sometimes plays a role in congenital cardiovascular defects. More than one child in a family may have a congenital cardiovascular defect, but this rarely occurs. There are various types of congenital defects such as > Aortic stenosis (AS)> Atrial septal defect (ASD)> Atrioventricular (A-V) canal defect> Bicuspid aortic valve> Coarctation of the aorta ("Coarct")> Ebstein's anomaly> Eisenmenger's complex> Hypoplastic left heart syndrome> Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA)> Pulmonary atresia> Pulmonary stenosis (PS)> Subaortic stenosis> Tetralogy of Fallot> Total anomalous pulmonary venous (P-V) connection> Transposition of the great arteries> Tricuspid atresia> Truncus arteriosus> Ventricular septal defect (VSD) congenital

Major defects are usually apparent in the neonatal period, but minor defects may not be detected until adulthood. Thus, true measures of incidence for congenital heart disease would need to record new cases of defects presenting anytime in fetal life through adulthood. However, estimates are only available for new cases detected between birth and 30 days of life, known as birth prevalence, or as new cases detected in the first year of life only. Both of these are typically reported as cases per 1,000 live births per year, and do not distinguish between tiny defects that resolve without treatment and major malformations. To distinguish more serious defects, some studies also report new cases of sufficient severity to require an invasive procedure or result in death within the first year of life.
