Understanding Common Congenital Heart Diseases and Their Development
The human heart is one of the earliest and most vital organs to develop in an embryo, beginning to beat just four weeks after fertilization to supply nutrients and oxygen necessary for survival.

They’d just come from a specialist, the words "Heterotaxy Syndrome" echoing in their minds. #atrialisomerism #congenitalheartcondition #geneticdisorders #heterotaxysyndrome #organmalformation #pediatriccardiology #situsinversus

Research at risk: Life-saving heart pumps for babies | Cornell Chronicle
After receiving a stop-work order from the federal government, the future of a device to help children with heart defects is uncertain.
Cornell ChronicleResearchers have developed a new heart implant shunt for children that expands with light, potentially eliminating the need for multiple risky surgeries as the child grows. This breakthrough could significantly improve the quality of life for children with congenital heart defects.

Expanding a child's heart implant with light: New shunt could eliminate multiple heart surgeries
Children born with defects that impair the heart's lower chambers undergo a series of invasive surgeries early in life. The first surgery includes implantation of a plastic tube called a shunt to improve blood flow. However, as children grow, the shunt is often replaced to accommodate their changing bodies. Now, researchers have designed a shunt that expands when activated by light. If developed successfully, this device could reduce the number of open-chest surgeries these children receive.
