Need more info: Thank you for the question. Congenital heart disease encompasses an enormous variety of lesions. Many of those lesions are compatible with average/normal life expectancy while many others are not. Knowledge of you specific diagnosis, and its severity, are required to give an estimated answer to your question.

Hard to answer: There are many different typesof congenital heart disease. Each type cannot be directly compared to others because the answer will be different. Many people, with a majority of the defects that we see today, will live a full and normal life. Thre are more people alive today in the us with chd over 18 than under.
