Early Treatment Recommended for Children with Heart Defects

Posted: Updated:

Doctors are recommending early intervention for children born with congenital heart defects.

The American Heart Association says those children are at a greater risk for other related developmental issues, compared to heart-healthy kids.

Doctors said children who meet the high risk criteria should be evaluated for neuro-developmental, psychosocial, behavioral and emotional issues.
