As opposed to acquired heart disease, which develops over a lifetime, congenital heart disease is a defect in the structure of the heart and great vessels present at birth. Congenital heart defects are the most common types of birth defects, as approximately nine in 1000 people are born with some type of heart defect. Some infants may require immediate intervention to treat a heart defect, while others will not experience symptoms until later in life. In many cases, a congenital heart defect may resolve on its own over time.
