A member asked:
How young do people get or develop heart conditions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth: Most heart disease in young patients is what we call "congenital". This means that the heart disease was present at birth and often has a genetic origin. A heart defect present at birth may not create symptoms until later in life.
