Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are complex conditions affecting the heart and/or great vessels that are present at birth. These defects occur in approximately 9 in every 1000 live births. From diagnosis to intervention, care has dramatically improved over the last several decades. Patients with CHDs are now living well into adulthood. However, there are factors that have been associated with poor outcomes across the lifespan of these patients. These factors include sociodemographic and socioeconomic positions. This commentary examined the disparities and solutions within the evolution of CHD care in the United States.
先天性心脏病(CHD)是影响心脏和/或大血管的复杂病症,在出生时就已存在。这些缺陷在每1000例活产中约有9例出现。从诊断到干预,在过去几十年中医疗护理有了显著改善。患有先天性心脏病的患者现在能够很好地活到成年。然而,在这些患者的整个生命周期中,有一些因素与不良预后相关。这些因素包括社会人口统计学和社会经济地位。这篇评论探讨了美国先天性心脏病护理发展过程中的差异及解决方案。
