CHDs are present at birth and can affect the structure of a baby's heart and the way it works. They can affect how blood flows through the heart and out to the rest of the body. CHDs can vary from mild (such as a small hole in the heart) to severe (such as missing or poorly formed parts of the heart). About 1 in 4 babies born with a heart defect has a critical CHD . Babies with a critical CHD need surgery or other Procedures in the first year of life. The burden of pregnancy represents a new challenge in women with congenital heart disease. Hospitals and birth centers should therefore be aware of the risks that women with congenital heart disease face during pregnancy by providing as much information as possible so that maternity patients can be given adequate preconception counseling and optimal care during pregnancy, delivery, and the postpartum period. According to section 2803-i of the Public Health Law, hospitals and birth centers are required to Provide an informational leaflet to mater- nity patients including information on maternity related procedures and practices. This proposed legislation would require hospitals and birth centers to include information on Congenital Heart Defects for maternity patients and their families.
