Heart Defects Deserve Focus

~1 in 100

Babies are born with heart defects​

#1 cause of death for infants with birth defects

Too many won’t survive to their first birthday

Patients and their families commonly undergo an arduous health journey

Many patients have less access to the care they need

60X more prevalent than all childhood cancers

The CHD Explorer (Coming Soon)

CHD Explorer - An interactive explorer of congenital heart defects

The Mussallem CHD Alliance has partnered with Stanford Biodesign and Impact1 for over a year to create the CHD Explorer – an interactive map of the unmet needs, organizations and initiatives driving innovation in CHD care.

By centralizing insights from across the CHD ecosystem, and linking need areas to the Alliance’s goals and initiatives, the CHD Explorer will empower and unite clinicians, researchers, healthcare innovators, policymakers, and advocates to help patients survive and thrive, while accelerating transformational innovation.
