Why are Premature Babies at Higher Risk of Congenital Heart Disease?

 Premature birth affects how the heart develops and adapts after delivery. 

Babies born early have not completed the final stages of cardiovascular maturation. 

This can lead to both structural and functional cardiac issues. 

Common conditions include: 

• Patent ductus arteriosus. 
• Atrial septal defects. 
• Ventricular septal defects. 

In many cases, these are linked to immaturity rather than permanent defects. 

Early detection through neonatal monitoring allows effective management. 

Most outcomes improve with appropriate care.
