Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Congenital Heart Disease

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: As improved treatments for congenital heart disease (CHD) have increased life expectancy, neurodevelopmental impairments have been observed in many survivors. These impairments include developmental delays, difficulty in school, and challenges living independently. Understanding the causes of these impairments and minimizing their impact are important goals to allow survivors to have the best possible quality of life.
