· The Children’s Heart Foundation is dedicated to funding the most promising research to advance the diagnosis, treatment, and preventions of congenital heart defects- which is America’s #1 birth defect! Nearly 1 out of every 100 births or 40,000 babies each year will be born with a congenital heart defect (CHD). More than half of all children born with a CHD will require at least 1 invasive surgery during their lifetime. Sadly, 20% of these children will not live to celebrate their 1st birthday.
