What is CHD? I remember being thrown into the whirlwind of medical terminology. Dominic had a severe form of "Congenital Heart Disease,"  referred to as Heterotaxy Syndrome with Congenital Heart Defects.

​

The role of this page is to educate and inform our communities about the severity and prevalence of CHD. 

​

According to children's.com "Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, affecting approximately 1 in every 100 babies born in the U.S. Out of the about 40,000 babies born with a heart defect each year, approximately 7,200 have a critical congenital heart defect which requires surgery or a procedure in their first year of life,"
