📋Overview
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) is a congenital heart defect characterized by underdevelopment of the left side of the heart, including the left ventricle, mitral valve, aortic valve, and ascending aorta. It is a critical congenital heart disease that impairs the heart's ability to pump oxygenated blood to the body. HLHS is a well-established diagnosis in pediatric cardiology and requires early intervention.
