About Congenital Heart Disease (CHD)

Every year, 1 in 100 babies in the U.S. is born with congenital heart disease. Nearly 30% of these children face open-heart surgery. Pediatric heart research makes up only 1% of all heart-related research, leaving many children reliant on treatments meant for adults instead of solutions designed for growing hearts. At A Giving Heart Foundation, we fund breakthrough pediatric research that transforms possibilities for children. This technology could greatly reduce the need for open-heart surgery. Supporting innovation today accelerates breakthroughs that bring us closer to a future where childhood CHD is no longer a lifelong diagnosis.
