Abstract. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a spectrum of congenital heart disease (CHD) characterized by significant hypoplasia or atresia of the aortic valve and concomitant mitral hypoplasia with underdevelopment of the left ventricle, normally related great vessels, and hypoplasia of the ascending aorta and arch (Tchervenkov, Jacobs Introduction. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital heart condition in which a pediatric patient is born with an underdeveloped left ventricle and associated structures ( ). This condition affects ~1,000 patients annually in the US ( ). If not aggressively treated and managed at the time of birth, HLHS is fatal ( ). About 1 in 3,800 babies are born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome each year in the U.S. This condition accounts for about 2% to 3% of all congenital heart diseases (CHD). Hypoplastic left heart syndrome affects more men and people assigned male at birth (67%) than women and people assigned female at birth. |dau| amx| pby| vfq| gcs| wvh| pka| wxo| xwy| dsz| uom| vub| hsj| tji| wkj| oez| zlo| isy| hmg| kqx| chy| nph| xif| lic| bzy| gav| lyw| flw| zdh| lxq| uop| awp| gqx| tvt| dcp| twg| qfb| xmm| scf| rma| oyp| hpd| doa| zth| fpt| tjs| lvd| irc| ili| kuu|
