Congenital Heart Disease is the most common and deadly of all birth defects. Approximately 25 percent of these cases are considered to be “Critical” Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD), particularly hard to detect in the newborn period. CCHD screening has also been proven to be important in identifying secondary conditions (e.g.neonatal sepsis, persistent pulmonary hypertension, parenchymal or anatomic pulmonary disease, transient tachypnea of the newborn, hypothermia, and hemoglobinopathies). These secondary conditions can be detrimental to the newborn if not diagnosed and treated.
