Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, affecting 1 out of every 100 infants. Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) accounts for a small percentage of all heart defects, but remains one of the most common causes of death in infants with congenital heart desease. Typically children with HLHS get 3 open heart surgeries. There is hope and more and more CHD warriors survive each year!
