Congenital heart defects are structural abnormalities of the heart present at birth, while acquired heart defects develop later in life due to factors such as disease or injury. Congenital defects may include conditions like atrial septal or ventricular septal defects, affecting the heart’s structure and function. Acquired defects, such as those resulting from rheumatic fever or heart valve disease, can develop as a consequence of various health issues. Both types of defects can lead to complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, or reduced cardiac function. Treatment approaches vary depending on the specific defect and may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions to repair or manage the condition effectively.
