VIDEO ONLY: Neurodevelopmental Consideration in Congenital Cardiac Conditions - Alexander Tan, Ph.D., ABPP/CN 2 CEs

Level: Intermediate Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, often requiring early intervention. While survival rates have improved, CHD can impact brain development, leading to neurocognitive, academic, and psychosocial challenges. Guidelines now emphasize neurodevelopmental follow-up, with research focusing on risk factors and culturally responsive care. Objectives: Identify CHD types and brain development impacts. Describe neuropsychological effects and risk factors. Review guidelines for managing CHD-related neurodevelopmental needs.
