The Week of February 7th-14th Is Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week…
This Next Part… I Just Copied & Pasted… I Didn’t Want To Get Any Facts Wrong…
“CHD Awareness Week takes place every year from February 7 to February 14. Congenital heart defect, or congenital heart disease, is a heart condition that is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. CHD Awareness Week is essential for creating awareness about the disease and raising more funds for research that will save lives.
Congenital heart disease is a condition that affects the structure of a person’s heart. The word ‘congenital’ means that the disease is present at birth. C.H.D. may present itself in the form of a hole in the heart or missing and deformed parts of the heart.
Prior to 1940, there was minimal progress in the treatment of the disease. It wasn’t until 1938 that Doctor Robert Edward Gross performed the first ligation of patent ductus arteriosus. After this, there were a number of positive advances in the treatment of the disease. In 1952, Doctor John F. Lewis performed the first intracardiac surgical procedure, successfully repairing an atrial septal defect. Making a huge mark in 1983, the first arterial operation was performed on an 11-day-old baby.
Researchers have not yet been able to pinpoint the cause of some forms of C.H.D. However, certain risk factors may lead to the development of the disease. These factors include genetics and heredity, diabetes, certain medications, smoking, consuming alcohol, and having rubella while pregnant. The presence of C.H.D can be detected from symptoms such as arrhythmias or an irregular heart rhythm, shortness of breath, unusual tiredness, swelling of body tissue or organs, as well as a bluish skin tint.
Due to advances in modern science, C.H.D is no longer a death sentence as over 90% of people with the disease survive into adulthood. There are more adults living with C.H.D. than there are children, which is a step in the right direction.”
