Overview

Quality of life in congenital heart disease refers to the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals who are born with structural heart defects. This condition requires specialized long-term care and management, and it can have a significant impact on the quality of life of affected individuals. Pediatric cardiology specialists assess quality of life using patient-reported outcomes, which measure the patient's perception of their health status and functional status. These assessments include evaluating physical health, mental health, and social health, as well as assessing psychological well-being and the impact of the disease on daily life. The assessment of quality of life in congenital heart disease is essential for medical decision-making, as it helps to identify the healthcare needs of patients and the effectiveness of treatments. It also provides a means of measuring the success of interventions, improving patient care, and enhancing the overall health outcomes for those affected by this chronic illness.
