===Obstruction defects===
 
Obstruction defects occur when heart valves, arteries, or veins are abnormally narrow or blocked. Common obstruction defects include pulmonary valve stenosis, aortic valve stenosis, and coarctation of the aorta, with other types such as bicuspid aortic valve stenosis and subaortic stenosis being comparatively rare. Any narrowing or blockage can cause heart enlargement or hypertension.
 
 
 
===Cyanotic defects===
Cyanotic heart defects are called such because they result in cyanosis, a bluish-grey discoloration of the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the body. Such defects include persistent truncus arteriosus, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great vessels, and tricuspid atresia.
 
==Antenatal Detection and Diagnosis==
Before birth, an obstetric ultrasound scan may be used to screen pregnant women for signs of CHD in their unborn babies. This screening scan is often performed around 20 weeks of pregnancy when the fast moving structures of the fetal heart are large enough to be more easily imaged. 
If CHD is suspected, a mother will be referred for a fetal echocardiograph, which is a more detailed, diagnostic ultrasound scan by a specialist cardiologist.
It is increasingly possible for specialists to screen for CHD as early as 14 weeks, if CHD is suspected from other factors, such as a family history.
==Postnatal Detection and Diagnosis==
After delivery, if congenital heart disease is present but has not been detected, then a newborn baby may appear blue or breathless.  Signs of CHD are sometimes mistaken for an infection or illness, so it is important to rule this out.
Blueness and/or breathlessness may take some time to present, depending on the type of congenital heart disease and whether there is a duct-dependent lesion (i.e. one relying on an open ductus arteriosis for blood flow).  This duct usually closes within the first three days of life in babies born at term (i.e. at nine months gestation).
 
==Detection and Diagnosis in Adulthood==
Although the majority of congenital heart disease diagnoses are made in childhood, there are significant congenital heart defects which may be go undetected until adulthood.  These typically include defects that do not cause cyanosis ("blueness") in childhood but may cause problems over time, such as certain kinds of valve problems, transposition disorders, holes in the heart, and abnormalities of the heart's major veins and arteries.  Congenital heart defects are most commonly diagnosed through an echocardiogram - an ultrasound of the heart which shows the heart's structure.  Cardiac magnetic resonance(MRI) are used to confirm CHD when signs or symptoms occur in the physical examination. An echocardiograph displays images of the might also be used to confirm the problem, particularly in complex defects in which anatomy is hard to determine with echocardiography.    It also finds abnormal rhythms or defects of the heart present with CHD. A chest x-ray may also be issued to look at the anatomical position of the heart and lungs. A Cat Scan(CT) can also be used to visualize CHD. All of these tests are ways to diagnose CHD by a physician.

==Outcomes==
It is now estimated that the number of adults in the United States who have congenital heart disease is approaching one million. Because of advances in [[cardiac surgery]], many who would not previously have survived childhood, now lead normal or relatively normal lives. However, some increase in complications has been observed in adults who were previously thought to have had successful repair of [[heart defects]]. These complications include [[cardiac arrhythmia]], disorders of [[heart valves]], and [[heart failure]]. Regular check-ups by cardiologists are now recommended for patients with histories of congenital heart disease, including those who may have previously been told that their defects were successfully repaired. Since most adult cardiologists have little experience with congenital heart disease, congenital heart disease centers[http://www.achaheart.org/for_members/clinicdirectory/index.php] have been developed to care for adult patients with more severe congenital heart disease. It is thought that some patients, especially those with more complex disorders, and women who are pregnant or considering pregnancy, would likely do better if they are followed in specialty centers. [http://www.acc.org/qualityandscience/clinical/bethesda/beth32/dirIndex.htm Guidelines] have been developed regarding which patients may be successfully followed in non-specialized cardiology practices, and which should be seen in adult congenital heart disease centers.

==[[Congenital heart disease overview|Overview]]==
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect, accounting for about 1% of all cases [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17051527/ <nowiki>[4]</nowiki>]. Although mild cases of CHD are not detected until after discharge, most of the critical CHD cases are identified soon after birth requiring surgery or catheter-based intervention in the first year of life. CHD is broadly classified into three major groups, namely, cyanotic CHD, ductal-dependent CHD and critical CHD. Cyanotic CHD involves defects that lead to mixing of deoxygenated blood into the systemic circulation. Ductal-dependent CHD relies on the patency of the ductus arteriosus for supply of blood to the pulmonary or systemic outflow which allows adequate mixing between the parallel circulations. Lesions requiring surgery or catheter-based intervention in the first year of life are referred to as critical CHD which includes ductal-dependent and cyanotic lesions, as well as forms of CHD that, although not requiring surgery in the neonatal period, do necessitate intervention in the first year of life, such as a big ventricular septal defect or an atrioventricular canal defect (or atrioventricular septal defect).

Overview

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect, accounting for about 1% of all cases [4]. Although mild cases of CHD are not detected until after discharge, most of the critical CHD cases are identified soon after birth requiring surgery or catheter-based intervention in the first year of life. CHD is broadly classified into three major groups, namely, cyanotic CHD, ductal-dependent CHD and critical CHD. Cyanotic CHD involves defects that lead to mixing of deoxygenated blood into the systemic circulation. Ductal-dependent CHD relies on the patency of the ductus arteriosus for supply of blood to the pulmonary or systemic outflow which allows adequate mixing between the parallel circulations. Lesions requiring surgery or catheter-based intervention in the first year of life are referred to as critical CHD which includes ductal-dependent and cyanotic lesions, as well as forms of CHD that, although not requiring surgery in the neonatal period, do necessitate intervention in the first year of life, such as a big ventricular septal defect or an atrioventricular canal defect (or atrioventricular septal defect).
