The Impact of Congenital Heart Defects

Congenital heart defects impact so many: infants and children, adult survivors, parents, and practitioners. Nearly 40,000 babies are born with a CHD every year in the U.S., and it is estimated that 3 million Americans are living with CHDs.

In the past two decades, The Children’s Heart Foundation has funded more than $13 million of CHD research and scientific collaborations that have improved longevity and quality of life for individuals living with CHDs in dramatic and life-changing ways. Only with your help we can we advance our critical mission: to save, extend, and improve the lives of all congenital heart defect patients by funding the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CHDs.
