Research progress on neurodevelopmental disorders associated with congenital heart disease

Abstract:

The incidence and disability rate of neurodevelopmental disorders in children are high, making it a significant public health issue affecting children's health globally. Neurodevelopmental disorders are particularly common in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), with clinical characteristics varying by type of CHD, surgical approach, age stage, and the presence of different complications or comorbidities. In recent years, based on the intervention model of "early diagnosis and early treatment," foreign studies have begun to explore new techniques for preventive early intervention in high-risk children with neurodevelopmental disorders, achieving promising results. This paper reviews the clinical characteristics of neurodevelopmental disorders associated with CHD, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for implementing new preventive early intervention techniques for children with CHD, thereby further reducing the incidence of neurodevelopmental disorders associated with CHD.
