Summary
The prenatal detection of congenital heart disease or defects (CHD) has improved over the years, though it remains below 50%. Major defects are more readily detectable (57%) than isolated lesions (44%). Given that CHD accounts for nearly one-third of all congenital anomalies, its implications on the neonatal outcome and its financial burden are significant. The incidence of CHD is influenced by the definition of the disease, the associated anomalies, and the timing of diagnosis.
