Congenital Heart Disease is a condition that refers to a defect or an abnormality in the structure of the heart. This disease usually correlates with children due to the fact that it is something one is born with, however with today’s medical advancements surgical treatment is available and these children grow into adults with Cogenital Heart Disease (ACHD). The transition from being a child to an adult with this disease is a difficult process but with the proper support system and treatment a normal life can be attained.
