The majority of children who suffer from coronary artery disease have an inborn cardiac defect. These are the most basic heart deserts that a child is born with. Intrinsic heart deserts are the most prevalent type of birth abandonment, occurring in 8-10 out of every 1000 live newborns. In India, it is estimated that 2, 40,000 children are born each year with an inborn heart defect, with 1/5th of these requiring a cardiovascular treatment or technique within the first year of life.
