Abstract excerpt
Congenital heart disease (CHD), one of the causes of childhood morbidity and mortality, is mainly triggered by a combination of environmental and genetic factors.

CHD subtypes are classified into diverse clinical phenotypes, such as atrial septal defects (ASD), ventricular septal...
