A member asked:
What is hyproplastic left heart syndrome (hlhs)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypoplastic: The left side of the heart fails to develop. This devastating birth defect was once always fatal but now a series of complex surgeries often enable survival, if not good health. Some ethicists believe parents may refuse the surgery on behalf of the child; some do not, but our laws making heart transplantation difficult work badly for these children. I wish the family strength & good guidance.
