What is the cure rate for congenital heart disease in children?

For some families with children suffering from congenital heart disease, knowing the cure rate of this disease is the most urgent issue. So today, we are going to talk to you about this issue and see what the cure rate of congenital heart disease in children is.

First, let's understand the causes of congenital heart disease in children: It is generally believed that the early pregnancy (5-8 weeks) is the most important period for fetal heart development. There are many causes of congenital heart disease, genetic factors account for only about 8%, while the vast majority of 92% are caused by environmental factors, such as women taking drugs during pregnancy, virus infection, environmental pollution, radiation, etc., which can cause abnormal development of the fetal heart. In particular, infection with rubella virus in the first 3 months of pregnancy will increase the risk of congenital heart disease in children sharply.

So what is the cure rate of this disease? This question depends on the joint efforts of doctors and the families of the children. Because most people who suffer from this disease are newborns and young children, these children have almost zero autonomy and do not know how to cooperate with doctors, so they need the help of parents to complete the treatment.

Some families are relatively well-off and can actively adopt all treatment plans and take great care of their children. In such cases, the child's chance of recovery is relatively high, reaching more than 84 percent.

Some families are not well off financially, but they love their children just the same. Although it is difficult for them to pay the high fees, they try their best to cooperate with the doctors. In this case, the cure rate is very high.

The most worrying thing is that some families do not care much about their children's health, the family situation is unstable, and the mental states of family members fluctuate too much. In this case, the cure rate will be extremely low, so the family's care and the doctor's treatment level are important factors affecting the cure rate.
