Prognosis of Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital heart disease requires close monitoring by a cardiologist over the course of the patient's life, as lesions or dysfunctions may remain and change over time, new lesions or complications may appear, and previous corrections may require future re-interventions.  

Complications such as arrhythmia, thromboembolic phenomena and the deterioration of cardiac and other organ function must be avoided.
