Syndromes and Disorders
The descriptions of the below listed defects and disorders, syndromes, and procedures are from the following medical sites or other listed site:
The most comprehensive site I found so far strictly relating to congenital heart disease is:
Congenital Heart Encyclopedia at the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. This site includes explanations of most defects and some sydromes, dynamic diagrams and flash movies, as well as treatment options and what to expect after surgery. This site is a MUST VISIT site!
