Heart failure refers to a situation wherein the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Some of the symptoms of heart failure include shortness of breath, swelling of limbs, lack of appetite, nausea, and rapid weight gain due to fluid retention. If not properly managed, it can cause damage to the kidney or liver. One of the causes of heart failure is congenital heart disease.

Congenital heart diseases are a group of heart abnormalities that affect a person since birth. Many of these diseases require early diagnosis and treatment, which may occur throughout a person's lifetime, to prevent possible complications. If the patient's health is not monitored continuously after the first treatment, complications can still develop in the future. Examples of such complications are arrhythmia, stroke, heart infection, and pulmonary hypertension.
